Let’s just look at some cold, hard facts.

Armed toddlers have killed significantly more people over the last 10 years than Islamic jihadists immigrants.

In fact, toddlers should probably be banned from the US because they’ve killed more than any Islamic jihadist terrorists, including US citizens, and far right-wing terrorists combined.

The table above has been shared widely after it was posted on Twitter by unlikely political pundit Kim Kardashian simply with the word ‘Statistics’.


It shows that nearly 12,000 people were killed (on average, remember, not over the entire 10-year period) by fellow Americans.

On top of that (but not on the list) since 9/11 no American has been killed on US soil by a terrorist from any of the banned countries.



The table has been shared widely after a federal judge in New York has an emergency order temporarily barring the deportation of people from countries included in Donald Trump’s travel ban, saying detained travellers had a strong argument that their legal rights had been violated.

US district judge Ann Donnelly made the order after lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union filed a court petition on behalf of people from seven predominantly Muslim nations who were detained at airports across the country as the president’s ban took effect.

Her order affected only a portion of Mr Trump’s executive action, with the three-page ruling saying without the stay ‘there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27 2017 executive order’.

Cheers broke out in a crowd of demonstrators outside a Brooklyn court as her decision, effective nationwide, was announced.

The order barred US border agents from removing anyone who arrived in the US with a valid visa from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen and also covered anyone with an approved refugee application.

It was unclear how quickly the order might affect people in detention.

‘Realistically, we don’t even know if people are going to be allowed on to the planes,’ said American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Lee Gelernt.

‘This order would protect people who they allow to come here and reach US soil.’

Under the Trump order, it appeared that an untold number of foreign-born US residents now travelling outside the country could be stuck overseas for at least 90 days even though they held permanent residency ‘green cards’ or other visas.

But a Department of Homeland Security official said no green-card holders from the seven countries named in the order had been prevented from entering the US.

Some foreign nationals who were allowed to board flights before the order was signed had been detained at US airports, told they were no longer welcome.

The DHS official said 109 people who were in transit on planes had been denied entry and 173 had not been allowed to board aircraft overseas.
