Eleven Americans, who had been stranded in desert camps in northeastern Syria for years, arrived back in the US on Tuesday. The group included a child who is not a US citizen but was repatriated in order to keep the family together. The World’s Shirin Jaafari speaks with host Carolyn Beeler about their return.
