Amna Nawaz explores the dilemma with Seamus Hughes of George Washington University.

The El Hassani family, now being held in Northern Syria by Kurdish forces, are not the only Americans who went to land controlled by the Islamic State -- there are dozens known to have ventured to the so-called caliphate since 2014.
