order limiting immigration from certain Muslim-majority
countries.
In an interview with CBS News’s Face the Nation Sunday, White House Chief of Staff
Reince Priebus acknowledged for the first time that Pakistan could be added to the list of
seven Muslim-majority countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, and Somalia —
from where immigration has been halted for at least 90 days while the Trump
administration improves the U.S. vetting process.

“The reason we chose those seven countries was, those were the seven countries that both
the Congress and the Obama administration identified as being the seven countries that
were most identifiable with dangerous terrorism taking place in their country,” Priebus
report this ad told CBS News.

report this ad “Now, you can point to other countries that have similar problems, like Pakistan and
advertisement others. Perhaps we need to take it further. But for now, immediate steps, pulling the
Band-Aid off, is to do further vetting for people traveling in and out of those countries,”
added the top White House official.

In an apparent response to backlash from the mainstream media and protesters, Priebus
explained that Trump signed the executive order, formally titled, “Protecting the Nation
From Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals,” after significant planning.

“We’re not going to advertise to the world that we’re going to put a stop or at least a
further vetting on travel in and out of our country from these seven places,” he said,
adding, “Some people have suggested, that, well, maybe we should have given everyone a
three-day warning. But that would just mean that a terrorist would just move up their
travel plans by three days. Identifying too many people in these countries and giving them
report this ad
a heads-up in these countries would only potentially flag the executive order for bad
advertisement order.”

The White House chief of staff noted that the countries covered by the executive order
have been linked to terrorism.

Priebus told CBS News:

These are countries that harbor and train terrorists. These are countries that we want
to know who is coming and going in and out of to prevent calamities from happening
in this country.

We’re not willing to be wrong on this subject. President Trump is not willing to take
chances on this subject. He was elected president in many respects because people
report this ad knew that he was going to be tough on immigration from countries that harbor
advertisement terrorists. And I can’t imagine too many people out there watching this right now
think it’s unreasonable to ask a few more questions from someone traveling in and
out of Libya and Yemen before being let loose in the United States.

After CNSNews.com reported that the former president had added Israel to the Bush-era
list, the Obama administration scrubbed the roll from the only document that publicly
mentioned it — a 2011 report compiled by the DHS inspector general.

The list can only be found in archived versions of the report before the Obama
administration removed it.

Despite then-ICE Director John Morton alleging that Israel had been added to the list by
mistake, documents released in 2012 under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
revealed that the addition had been intentional, a point that has been largely ignored by
the media.

Besides the seven countries covered by the Trump national security order, the list of SDCs
also included Pakistan and 28 other countries, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, among
them.

With the exception of a very few number of nations — namely Israel, the Philippines, and
Thailand — the vast majority of the 35 listed countries are predominantly Muslim.

After completely removing the list from the 2011 DHS OIG report, the Obama
administration stated: “The specially designated country list as described in Appendix D
was created in 2003, is outdated and is being eliminated. The internal procedural
guidance has been rescinded and the internal screening criteria and processes are being
revised.”
