Trump Says Alabama Woman Who Joined ISIS Should Not Be Allowed Back in U.S.

HeadlineFeb 21, 2019

President Trump has personally rejected an Alabama woman’s request to return to the United States after she left the country in 2015 to join ISIS fighters in Syria. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday 24-year-old Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen, but her attorneys insist she does hold U.S. citizenship and was born in Hackensack, New Jersey. She is now in a refugee camp in Syria with her 18-month-old son.
