© Valentina Sinis/VII/ Redux Should citizens who left home to join ISIS be allowed to return? While international law holds that the answer is yes, the governments of both the United Kingdom and the United States are refusing to do just that. ISIS is responsible for unconscionable crimes against humanity, and it promotes ideas that are vicious and dangerous in the extreme. But citizenship rights are too important—and too foundational to the American, British, and international systems of law—to be revoked without due process. Exiling nationals is a tool of lawless tyrannies, not liberal democracies. It’s not just illegal; it’s wrong.
