A report released by the US Senate provided information on the 580 individuals convicted of terrorism in America since the 9/11 attacks.

The conservative non-profit Center for Immigration Studies claim they obtained a copy of the information, which was originally released in 2016 by the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, then chaired by new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The CIS asserts that 72 of those convicted of terrorism hail from the seven countries addressed by President Trump's controversial immigration ban.

A report released by the US Senate provided information on the 580 individuals convicted of terrorism in America since the 9/11 attacks - and the conservative non-profit Center for Immigration Studies claims 72 of those convicted of terrorism hail from the seven countries addressed by President Trump's controversial immigration ban

Their analysis maintains that of the 580 convicted terrorists, 20 came from Somalia, 19 from Yemen, 19 from Iraq, seven from Syria, four from Iran and two from Libya.

The right-wing think tank, whose motto is 'pro-immigrant, low immigration,' also claims that 17 of those 72 entered the country as refugees.

Twenty-five of the 72 eventually became US citizens and spread about 16 states, their report says.

The most populated state by the group was New York, with ten living settling there, Minnesota and California both harboring eight, and Michigan with six.

Critics of the Senate report argued that many individuals on their list were mislabeled as terrorists, as they were convicted of comparatively low-level crimes such as identity fraud or making false statements.

The CIS claims that 33 of the 72 terrorists from Trump's banned countries were convicted of severe crimes, such as 'use of a weapon of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit a terror act, material support of a terrorist or terror group, international money laundering conspiracy, possession of explosives or missiles, and unlawful possession of a machine gun.'

The article comes in the wake of an impromptu interview given by President Trump aboard his Air Force One aircraft on Friday where he discussed his travel ban.

He maintained confidence that his administration would 'win' regarding his immigration executive order, despite it coming to a startling halt in a federal appeals courts this week.

He said: 'We will win that battle. The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily, but we will win that battle. We also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order.'

President Donald Trump told reporters traveling with him to Florida that he is considering 'just filing a brand new order' as a way of responding to a federal appeals court panel that halted his new immigration order

Trump gave no details of any new ban he is considering. It's possible that he could rewrite the original order to explicitly exclude green card holders, or permanent residents, said a congressional aide familiar with the matter.

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told reporters late on Friday that taking the case to the Supreme Court remained a possibility, after another White House official said earlier in the day the administration was not planning to escalate the dispute.

'Every single court option is on the table, including an appeal of the Ninth Circuit decision on the TRO (temporary restraining order) to the Supreme Court, including fighting out this case on the merits,' Priebus said.

'And, in addition to that, we're pursuing executive orders right now that we expect to be enacted soon that will further protect Americans from terrorism.'
