FED:Second 'ISIS bride' group to face charges upon return

A second group of women and children linked to Islamic State are expected to face charges when they arrive back in Australia.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed seven women and 12 children have made plans to travel from Syria to Australia, after spending years in a Syrian refugee camp.

The so-called "ISIS brides", who are due to arrive in Australia on Tuesday evening, are expected to face charges upon their return.

"The government has not and will not provide any assistance to this group," Mr Burke said in a statement.

"These are people who have made the horrific choice to join a dangerous terrorist organisation and to place their children in an unspeakable situation.

"Any members of this cohort who have committed crimes can expect to face the full force of the law."
