French and ISIS ties

As the fight against ISIS comes to an end, Europe has to deal with the consequences of where to put citizens dealing with these extreme actions from the government. Out of all the European countries, France has been the one struck the most dramatically with 250 citizens killed by the terrorist group since 2013. On the other hand, France has also had a dramatic ISIS membership increase among French citizens. As the United States prepares to withdraw troops from Syria, France has rejected Trump's proposal of removing all ISIS fighters from the initial battleground. Still, people with loved ones lost to the terrorist group want those murderers to be tried on French soil. Now, France's biggest concern is bringing back the ISIS fighters to the country, in hopes of  a trial and ultimately closure for the victims family.
