Our jails are crowded and some of them are falling apart. Put them in jail after trial by all means, if their sentences so dictate. Putting them in jail before trial is only a good idea if they're flight risks or a danger to others (which some of these women might be, I admit, but you need at least a figleaf of justification beyond "ISIS bad"). If they're in jail, the money to feed, clothe, and house them comes out of our tax dollars, which may be better spent elsewhere.
(That's in addition to the fact that some of them could still be found not guilty, in which case you've just held innocent people in jail.)
…these people spent anywhere from a few years to a decade aiding, abetting, and enabling terrorist extremist groups. I would absolutely consider them a flight risk and a potential danger to others, under the circumstances.
Don’t get me wrong - the US justice system is idiotic in a myriad of ways, but if a US citizen tried to return to the country after years of gallivanting around with ISIS or Boko Haram or whatever other extremist group you’d care to name (pointedly: any extremist group, not just specifically Islamic-identifying ones), I would fully expect the US customs agent to call in the federal marshalls the second it became apparent that they’d probably been off doing sketchy shit with terrorists. And I say that because I would further expect the FBI to have clued in on the fact that they’d been doing that, and would probably have a case file on them, and perhaps charges pending, and likely even a warrant out for their arrest.
Turns out we all move on from these massive conflicts pretty quickly. I married a korean
