The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

France was correct in its original decision not to repatriate these individuals. While they may be French nationals, they're also adults who chose to fight for ISIS, fully aware of the traitorous act they were committing. Western states who bend their knee to the demands of the human rights courts will only risk innocent lives to save Jihadi traitors in foreign lands.

Pro-establishment narrative

The most important question here is whether children should be punished for the crimes of their parents, and the answer is clearly no. While the adults who chose to leave and fight for a terrorist caliphate should still be tried and punished, their trial should be on Western soil so their children can be freed from their parent's sins.
