The cases outlined in the report include one-third of the at least 153 Americans who have been arrested on ISIS-related charges Since 2011. More than 89% of the individuals mentioned were men and 70% were American citizens or permanent residents. According to criminal complaints, Dempsey conspired to travel to Syria with an individual referred to as "Person A." President Donald Trump has often touted US military gains in Iraq and Syria and said ISIS is "on the run" as their territory continues to shrink. American foreign fighters have explored other areas as potential destinations -- including Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Nigeria -- but those cases were not specifically included in Monday's report.
