US Coordination: Repatriation and Security of ISIS Detainees and Syria Camps

It establishes a permanent Senior Coordinator to oversee international cooperation on repatriation, prosecution, and reintegration of these individuals, which is vital for preventing ISIS resurgence and enhancing global security. Citizens should expect continued federal spending on humanitarian aid and security efforts in the region until 2025.
