She made her choice to join the enemy. No do-over. Pay the price. No oops.

A convoy of trucks evacuated dozens of people including women and children from Islamic State’s last Syria redoubt Wednesday, February 20, bringing the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces closer to retaking the last sliver of the “caliphate.”

The implosion of the jihadist proto-state which once spanned swathes of Syria and neighboring Iraq has left Western nations grappling with how to handle citizens who left to join ISIS.

Around 15 trucks carrying men, women and children exited the last patch of ISIS territory in eastern Syria, according to AFP correspondents.

Women wearing face veils, several children – including young veiled girls – as well as men were seen inside the vehicles.

Their exact number and nationalities were not immediately clear.

The convoy passed a position of the SDF, which is spearheading the battle against ISIS, after leaving the last ISIS holdout in the village of Baghuz, near the Iraqi border.

SDF spokesperson Mustafa Bali said the trucks were evacuating a first batch of civilians, but some remained inside.

“After many days of trying, we were able to evacuate the first batch today,” Bali told AFP.

On Tuesday, SDF spokesperson Kino Gabriel told The Defense Post that progress had been halted because of the number of women and children still being held by the jihadist group.

“The last remnants of ISIS are surrounded by SDF forces in a very small pocket in one neighborhood of Baghuz village. Currently, we are withholding operations in order to be able to rescue and secure the safety and get out prisoners and … civilians who are captured by ISIS,” he said.

The number of people who quit the holdout would become clear once the convoy arrived at a nearby SDF screening point, he said.

“We don’t know if ISIS fighters are among them, we will know at the screening point,” Bali said.

Backed by airstrikes by a U.S.-led Coalition, the SDF have trapped ISIS fighters in less than half a square kilometer (0.2 square miles) in Baghuz.

The SDF have slowed their advance in recent days to protect civilians ahead of a final push to defeat the jihadists.

But she's a woman and a Muslim. Shouldn't liberals welcome her "home" and get her to run for office?

Are you that stupid? She was a terrorist. I live in a Muslim community and no hater, they are not all terrorists. They are just like anyone else. Many serve in the military, the police and the fire department. I judge them as people. You see Muslim and turn on the hate.
So because she is a Muslim woman you think she should be killed, exiled, jailed?
