ICYMI here are five bizarre moments from the president's two-hour long speech at CPAC 2019
President Donald Trump once again referenced unverifiable statistics about immigration court proceedings during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday — one of many false or misleading statements that came during the commander-in-chief's blustery and lengthy spiel.
According to available data, the number is considerably higher. A report from the Department of Justice from the 2016-2017 fiscal year shows the rate at which migrants show up for court hearings hovers around 72 percent. When looking only at asylum seekers, the rate jumps to 89 percent. "The vast majority of individuals who in recent years were released on bond as a result of their custody hearing before an immigration judge turned up for their court case," a report from Syracuse stated.
He also invoked the percentage during a June 2018 anniversary celebration for the National Federation of Independent Businesses, telling the audience that"like three percent come back," according to White House transcripts of the meeting.
