She had been asking to return to the United States, but Trump will not allow it
"ISIS bride" Hoda Muthana, who has been asking to return to the United States, is not an American citizen, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Wednesday, contrary to her family lawyer's assertion.
Muthana is being held by U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in eastern Syria as they regain the final territory from ISIS.
In her first television interview, the 24-year-old Alabama woman who spent four years as an "ISIS bride" told ABC News she felt shame hearing the tweets she posted when she was part of ISIS and wants to return to the U.S. with her 18-month-old son, who was born under the terror group.
But in a statement, Pompeo said she "is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States. She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport, nor any visa to travel to the United States."
"The Trump administration continues its attempts to wrongfully strip citizens of their citizenship," Hassan Shibly, the Muthana family's attorney, told ABC News in a statement. "Hoda Muthana had a valid US passport and is a citizen. She was born in Hackensack, NJ in October 1994, months after her father stopped being [a] diplomat."
On Wednesday afternoon, Trump tweeted that the U.S. will not allow Muthana back into the country.

Is Hassan Shibly, the Muthana family's attorney a real attorney or does he just play one for all the TV interviews he's been on? It doesn't matter if her father "stopped being [a] diplomat" before she was born. He was here on a G-2 Visa, the special diplomatic visa. Any children born in the US to parents here on that visa are NOT citizens.
ReplyDeleteRemember when Obama exchanged 5 Islamic prisoners for Bergdahl - a suspected traitor. 3 of those Islamic prisoners went on to be leaders of ISIS. Thanks to Obama. Worse President in the US.

He didn't take away her citizenship. She gave it away.
