With this weekend’s raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi without the loss of any American lives, our special forces have proven once again that they are in a class unto themselves. While the many lives that Baghdadi took cannot be brought back, I hope that eliminating ISIS’ leader will bring a sense of justice to the families who lost loved ones. Thank you to the men and women of our military who continually risk their lives to keep us safe, to our foreign partners for supporting us, and to the Trump Administration for a job well done.

While this is an important step in the fight against ISIS, now is not the time to rest on our laurels. We must continue our relentless pursuit of ISIS terrorists and other radical extremists until none remain. They must never be granted a safe-haven, and I am confident our troops will never stop hunting them down.
