	Regarding the concerns about the Hol Camp, the statement reads: "Al-Hol and al-Roj camps house over 40,000 displaced personnel, many with ties to ISIS. Without international repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration efforts, these camps risk creating the next generation of ISIS. Additionally, over 9,000 ISIS detainees from over 50 different countries remain in over a dozen SDF guarded detention facilities in Syria, a literal and figurative 'ISIS Army' in detention."
