What is the current status of ISIS worldwide? Some European countries have cancelled ISIS-travelers’ citizenship and refuse to repatriate fighters for prosecution. Terror trials in Western judicial systems face formidable procedural and evidentiary hurdles. With prison camps in Syria at risk there are concerns over the security of detainees. While organized ISIS receded as an imminent threat there are signs of resurgence. Evaluating the present status of ISIS and its affiliates before ISIS restructures is imperative, for both European countries, and the United States.
