Hoda Muthana joined Isis and Trump no longer wants her in the United States

Arriving at the destination, the young woman – who was 19 years old – crossed the border into Syria, where she joined the so-called Islamic State (IS).

From there, he began to participate in the campaigns on social networks of EI, inviting him to commit terrorist attacks in the United States.

"Americans are waking up, men and women together, they have a lot to do to live under our greatest enemy, stop sleeping, get in vehicles and shed all their blood, or rent a big truck and hit them," he declared. in March 2015, as Buzzfeed then reported.

Regret, Muthana now wants to return to the United States but President Donald Trump does not want to be allowed to return, despite the fact that she claims to be a citizen of this country.

"I have ordered the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees not to authorize the return of Hoda Muthana to the country," Trump said in a message released Wednesday on Twitter.

Yemeni origin

Muthana was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, on October 28, 1994, according to the documentation presented by his lawyer, Hbadan Shibly.

In principle, this fact alone should make it a creditor of US citizenship, because, in general, this country grants citizenship to those born on its territory.

However, the fact that his father was a former Yemeni diplomat who had worked for the United Nations mission in that country could place him in an exception to this rule, as children of foreign agents were born under the jurisdiction of the country of their parents.

This would apparently be the foundation of Pompeo's argument, who said Wednesday that Muthana "has no legal basis, no valid US pbadport, no right to a pbadport, no visa to travel to United States".

"Hoda Muthana is not a US citizen and will not be admitted to the United States," said the official in a statement.

According to Shibly, however, he notes that Muthana's father quit his job as a diplomat on 1 September 1994, before the woman's birth.

"Hoda Muthana had a valid US pbadport and is a citizen of this country," said the lawyer, who accused the Trump government of wanting to take away citizenship from people to whom they belong.

Charlie Swift, director of the Center for the Constitutional Law of Muslims in the United States, told The New York Times that Muthana actually had two US pbadports: an American pbadport, a second one when it was renewed before it was released. to go to Syria.

According to his family, after joining Employment Insurance, this last pbadport was revoked.

Dealing with the consequences

During her stay in Syria, in addition to being an IS propagandist, Muthana was married to three militia members of this organization, two of whom died.

She now has an 18-month-old baby and wants to return to the United States.

"I hope that's in the US, they do not think I'm a threat to them and hope that they'll be able to accept me," said the woman, who said that the employment insurance had washed the brain.

Muthana claims to have fled employment insurance about six weeks ago. She was captured by Kurdish forces and interned in a refugee camp in northern Syria.

Shibly says he's trying to surrender to US authorities to deal with the consequences of their actions.

However, it is not clear that she will be able to do so in the terms she has envisioned.
