S 356 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Syria Detainee and Displaced Persons Act

S 356 establishes a senior coordinator within the U.S. government to manage efforts related to ISIS-affiliated individuals and displaced persons in Syria. It requires an interagency strategy within 180 days focused on repatriating, prosecuting, or reintegrating camp residents (including women and children at facilities like al-Hol) while improving humanitarian conditions and security. The bill mandates annual reports detailing camp conditions, repatriation numbers, security risks, and international cooperation efforts. It directly affects U.S. agencies (State, Defense, Justice, etc.), Syrian displaced persons camps, and partner nations working on ISIS-related detainee resolution. The law modifies existing NDAA 2020 provisions to strengthen coordination and accountability for closing camps by 2025.
