Bipartisan offer to block ISIS-linked families' return

Australia has issued passports to the women and children trying to return home after languishing in the Syrian Al Roj refugee camp since the fall of the caliphate in 2019.

Federal police insist they are prepared to keep the community safe if the 34 partners and children of Australian-born ISIS fighters are allowed back into the country, warning anyone who has committed a crime will face the full force of the law.
