Why are the Canadian women of ISIS coming home without being charged?

Why are the Canadian women of ISIS coming home without being charged? | Globalnews.ca

The government said Canadians who joined ISIS would face the 'full force' of the law, but not a single woman who lived under ISIS has yet been convicted.

Why is the federal government even allowing them to return to Canada?? Our liberal government and justice system is broken.
- If they are still legally citizens, the country cannot refuse them entry to the country.
  
  Sure, but aiding and abetting an organization that is legally recognized and sanctioned by Canada and pretty much all other developed countries as terrorist group has to run afoul of some law.
  Like, what the fuck are these people saying to the customs reentry officers when they ask what they were doing in Afghanistan or Syria or whatever for the last several years? “Just some stuff, don’t worry about it”?
  Edit: clarification: I am aware that it is considered a violation of human rights to render a person stateless. I am expressing surprise that the former terrorists returning to Canada weren’t immediately arrested on terrorism charges upon entry.
- As Canadian citizens they have a Section 6 right to return to Canada. You know, the same Section 6 right that the fucking tantrumists thought was being taken away because no country would take them during the pandemic because they weren't vaccinated
- Calm yourself. It's not easy to deny someone entry to their birthplace, nor to remove citizenship when they have nothing else.
  Stop watching Pierre and his endless drama and you'll be fine.
  Go learn.
- Why isn't the liberal government just suspending the constitution?!?111??? 🙄
- International reputation and wanting to be able to deport immigrants that commit crimes here

  Did you read the article?
Dura Ahmed sounds like a lovely person:
"[I was studying] English and Middle Eastern studies. I didn’t know anything about ISIS or anything. [...] I didn’t really watch the news. No one liked to talk about it. I was really oblivious to what was going on. In the end I said fine, if I don’t like it, I’ll come back." [...]
So to Raqqa, ISIS’ de-facto capital, she came in 2014. What she saw, she liked. “It was an easy life. It was a city. It was stable,” she said. “You’re there and you’re eating Pringles and Twix bars." [...] "Well, having slaves is part of Sharia,” she finally ventured. “I believe in Sharia."
Did she regret coming to Syria, I asked, wondering if she felt disillusioned with the Islamic State [...] “No. I had my kids [t]here,” she replied.
