Ala.Woman Who Joined IS Won't Return to US; Admits She Made Mistake in Joining IS in Syria

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."
