A woman born in New Jersey, who fled the United States to join the Islamic State five years ago, isn't an American citizen and won't be leaving the Syrian refugee camp where she resides, a federal judge ruled.
Hoda Muthana, the so-called ISIS bride, “doesn’t have a constitutional right to return to the United States because she is not a U.S. citizen,” Judge Reggie Walton of the District of Columbia District Court ruled Thursday.
Muthana, 25, left her family home in Alabama and dropped out of school in 2014 after making contact with ISIS fighters through social media. She was born to a Yemeni diplomat in 1994 and was issued an American passport despite eventual confusion about when her father's diplomatic post officially came to an end.
Muthana burned her U.S. passport in 2014 and declared herself to be a part of the caliphate, using social media to encourage others to join too. She married an Australian-born ISIS fighter who was killed in 2015 and then married a Tunisian-born fighter who was also killed, but with whom she had a son. Muthana also married and divorced another fighter.
During the brief hearing Thursday afternoon, the judge heard arguments from Christina Jump, who was representing Hoda Muthana’s father Mohammed Ali Muthana, and from DOJ attorney Scott Stewart, who was appearing on behalf of the State Department and the U.S. government. Walton’s surprise ruling came after a fifteen-minute recess. The judge’s quick decision may have been based on the recent shifting and uncertain conditions in Syria he referenced in his opening remarks. Walton said he’d issue a written opinion within 30 days.

Sucks to be her I guess.
Pardon me while I shed a tear. NOT!
Under what circumstance is a person born in the US and a holder of a US passport (albeit burned) not a US citizen? Not that I give a rat’s patootie about her fate, of course...
She misjudged things. If 0bama was still POTUS, she’d probably be welcomed back to a hero’s parade. Next up, she’d get every possible entitlement benefit out there.
Oh no, common sense has prevailed?!
Read the fine print in your Passport.
If you swear allegiance to a foreign power, you have renounced your American citizenship.
The moment she burned that passport and announced her allegiance to ISIS, she was no longer a US Citizen. The judge made the right call.
She could, of course, apply for admission to the United States as an alien seeking US citizenship, but the background check is going to be a b!tch!
She was born to a sitting Yemeni diplomat. See the constitution. Not a citizen.
“She was born to a Yemeni diplomat in 1994 and was issued an American passport despite eventual confusion about when her father’s diplomatic post officially came to an end.”
She is the daughter of a Yemeni diplomat, and is not considered a US citizen because of being a child of a diplomat. She was given a US passport in error in the first place.
When that person swears allegiance to a foreign power.
Feel good article of the day.
She’s Yemeni
Go there
This country would be so much better off if we deport all the non-Americans, ie, Democrats.
Well, there goes the Democrat front runner.
Obama would have promised her into a marriage with Clockboy.
Hahaha. This worthless terrorist cretin is lucky no one has shot her...yet.
I think there was a similar case in Britain,if I recall, of a Muslim/ISIS terrorist bride who wanted to return to her home country.
Actions have consequences. There are consequences to these women being so enthralled with Islam and the Jihad against civilization and all that. They chose their fate to go to some middle eastern sandbox hellhole for their faith. Actions have consequences.
