Security at the camp fell apart in recent weeks after Syria's government defeated the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which had guarded al-Hol for years.

There are few Republicans criticizing the White House's approach to immigration enforcement, but one of them represents one of the country's most Hispanic districts.
Florida Representative Maria Elvira Salazar recently told The Wall Street Journal she's seen the fallout from Trump's hardline deportation policies play out in her own district, and she's worried it might cost her party the midterms.
Journal political reporter Sabrina Rodriguez recently sat down with Salazar in Washington and is here to tell us more.
Sabrina, what is Salazar's background?
How did she get to Congress?
As I mentioned, Salazar says she's worried that the Trump administration's approach to immigration could cost their party the midterms.
What's her basis for thinking that?

How's her bill going over in Congress so far?
That was journal reporter Sabrina Rodriguez.
Thanks, Sabrina.
