Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said today (February 20, 2019) that an Alabama woman who left home to join the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria is not a U.S. citizen and will not be allowed to return to the U.S., according to the AP website.
Pompeo said Hoda Muthana, who says she made a mistake in joining the group and now wants to return with her 18-month-old son, has no "legal basis" to claim American citizenship.
"Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States," Pompeo said.
He added, "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."
