3:05 am
backlash. you have islamic extremists, isis, al qaeda, that have committed attacks for the last decade or so. and then you have domestic terrorist groups that are looking to do the same type of thing as a backlash against that community. and that's part of the strife that we're experiencing when it comes to race relations and then law enforcement has to deal with that. so that's something that we're looking at from the terrorism side, both sides of the spectrum. >> a very tense situation worldwide. our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to the victims there in canada of this terrible, terrible attack. abc contributor steve gomez, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. now to president trump defending his executive order, leaving many immigrants and refugees in legal imblimbo. >> panicked families waited for hours to be reunited after the president issued a 90-day travel ban on people coming from seven muslim countries. he suspended the
