security risks among their nationals seeking to enter the united states. the fact that there were clearly justifiable security grounds for the measure, the district court in hawaii and the 9th circuit, blocked this public safety measure for a year and a half, the theory was that the president's motive for the order was religious bias against muslims. this was just the first of many immigration measures based on good and sufficient security grounds, that the courts have second guessed since the beginning of the trump administration. the travel ban case highlights an especially troubling aspect of the recent tendency to expand judicial review. the supreme court has traditionally refused across a wide variety of contexts to inquire into the subjective motivation behind government action. to take the classic example, if a police officer has probable cause to initiate a traffic stop, his subjective motivations are irrelevant. and just last term, the supreme court appropriately shut the door to claims that otherwise lawful redistricting can violate the constitution if the legislatures that true the lines were motivated by political partisanship. what is true of police officers and gerrymanderers is equally t

emboldened to come out in public we see marches in certain cities in the united states be seen an uptick in violent attacks and until the president's rhetoric and actions match what his security officials are saying we will continue to see these groups involvement and increasingly i should note they're becoming more transnational nature so we've had a number of attacks involving right wing extremism here in the united states that have connections to groups that are overseas so this is not just an issue for the united states but an issue around the globe that we need to be our government step up in and knowledge and prioritize and we're not seeing that from the president right now and in fact alison what i would do want to do is play a quite head from the u.s. counter-terror to the u.s. counterterrorism coordinator he said this when he launched the report let's have a listen we know the white supremacist and other racially motivated terrorist organizations or networks communicate across international borders we know that they are in a sense learning from their jihad ist predecessors in terms of their ability to raise money and move money terms of their ability to radicalize an
