This is weird. Kelly-Ann Conway, Trump's advisor and former campaign manager, has cited a terrorist attack committed by immigrates from the listed countries as justification for the ban. The only problem is that his terrorist attack, the 'Bowling Green Massacre', never happened:

During a Thursday interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the counselor to the president defended President Trump’s travel ban related to seven majority-Muslim countries. At one point, Conway made a reference to two Iraqi refugees whom she described as the masterminds behind “the Bowling Green Massacre.”
“Most people don’t know that because it didn’t get covered,” Conway said.
The Bowling Green Massacre didn’t get covered because it didn’t happen. There has never been a terrorist attack in Bowling Green, Ky., carried out by Iraqi refugees or anyone else.
