A cohort of four women and nine children, all Australian citizens with valid passports, is expected to arrive in Australia from Syria, where they were residing in the Al Roj refugee camp. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have prepared a detailed strategy to manage their return, which includes monitoring, risk assessments, and potential arrests based on individual cases. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed that authorities were informed as soon as the group booked their flights. Despite concerns surrounding their return, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) chief Mike Burgess stated that the group does not pose an immediate security risk and will not affect the national terrorism threat level. The AFP has been investigating the cohort for the past decade, and children in the group will be offered community integration programs and therapeutic support. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett indicated that while some individuals will be arrested, others will continue to be investigated upon their arrival.
