ISIS suspects are still being held in detention camps in eastern Syria, posing a threat if the US withdraws troops and the camps are emptied. The camps include tens of thousands of people, including women and children, who are linked to ISIS families. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces are securing the camps. Efforts have been made to repatriate Iraqi detainees to Iraq, but there are still around 52,000 people held in camps in eastern Syria. The conditions in the camps have worsened due to a lack of aid, and ISIS has attempted to smuggle people out and target children and youth for indoctrination.
