The George Washington University Program on Extremism has issued a report on “ISIS in America,” which we urge all to read.  The report is consistent with Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)’s October 2015 report on American ISIS terrorists in numerous states, and provides significant analytical information.

R.E.A.L. provides a snapshot from this report on the legal status of ISIS America recruits, including showing concentrations of arrests (which does not necessarily equate to concentration of recruits).  The main point is that “56 individuals were arrested in 2015, the largest number of terrorism arrests in a single year since September 2001.”  As R.E.A.L. pointed out in October 2015, this appears to represent the ability to stop just a small fraction of ISIS American recruits.
