ISIS has begun reasserting itself in Iraq and Syria, the UN Security Council warns in a new report. Although the terrorist group has lost ground in the region, the report says the border between Syria and Iraq is inadequately secured, allowing ISIS fighters to move between the countries with ease. The recent US drawdown of troops in Syria and complications from a US drone strike on Baghdad at the beginning of the year have made it difficult to keep pressure on the group. Another reason ISIS just doesn't seem to be going away in the area? It has a lot of money. Meanwhile, the House will likely vote today to repeal the 2002 authorization for military force in Iraq in order to limit President Trump's ability to wage war in the area. The House vowed to make these changes after the recent escalation of tensions between the US and Iran
