On June 17, 2020, the U.S. imposed sanctions on 39 members of the Syrian government, including Assad and his wife. This was called for under Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act named for the alias used by a Syrian, who smuggled over 50,000 pictures of Syrians tortured by the government and jihadists in the two years between the outbreak of that country's civil war. Mulroy told Kurdistan 24 and ABC News that the Syrian government "has to be held accountable for what they have done to the Syrian people that resulted in over 700,000 people being killed and over 10 million being displaced”, that the international community also needs to "increase humanitarian aid and stabilization funding to the areas liberated from this despotic regime” and “do everything we can to help the Syrian people and everything we can to end the Syrian regime. They are the same.”<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Finnegan|first1=Conor|last2=Arnholz|first2=Jack|date=June 17, 2020|title=US sanctions Assad, his wife, others in bid to shut down foreign investment for Syrian regime|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-sanctions-assad-wife-bid-shut-foreign-investment/story?id=71298202|access-date=2020-08-10|website=ABC News|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Mylroie|first=Laurie|date=June 18, 2020|title=New US sanctions against Syria include families of Bashar, Maher al-Assad|url=https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/ac0df1e4-df03-4b7d-8f0a-254f62b57e2b|access-date=2020-08-10|website=www.kurdistan24.net}}</ref> They added that in 2003, Mulroy worked with the [[Peshmerga]], in the context of the [[2003 invasion of Iraq|2003 Invasion of Iraq]].
