Allison Fluke-Ekren pleaded guilty to terrorism charges earlier this year, Fluke-Ekren led an all-female ISIL battalion in Syria.

Prosecutors described Fluke-Ekren as the ‘empress of ISIS’, accusing her of training women and girls as young as 10 on how to use automatic weapons and detonate grenades and suicide belts.
