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, doesnt 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 Muthanas father Mohammed Ali Muthana, and from DOJ attorney Scott Stewart, who was appearing on behalf of the State Department and the U.S. government. Waltons surprise ruling came after a fifteen-minute recess. The judges quick decision may have been based on the recent shifting and uncertain conditions in Syria he referenced in his opening remarks. Walton said hed issue a written opinion within 30 days.

Nah, She would have been AOC’s running mate in 2024
There is an review SOP for passport applications supported by birth certificates where the applicant was born in NY or DC to foreign born parents. The parents names should be run against the blue list maintained by the Department if States Protocol office.
Cair and American hating media was playing the judge shopping / mean Trump card .
Thanks , interesting, I must look at my passport again. I never saw that or had forgotten about it
Good news!
She obtained the visa fraudulently.

A US citizen is one “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States”, which children of foreign diplomats are not.
"Muthana, who married three separate ISIS fighters, currently lives at the al-Hawl refugee camp with her 18-month-old son, Adam."
Funny she demanded! Go to the UK or Swednen
“”A woman born in New Jersey””
Isn’t a US citizen?
She burned her U.S. passportin a video and declared herself a part of the caliphate.....Married three ISIS terroists.
Muthana surrendered to coalition forces in January 2019 after the califate was defeated and begged to come back to the U.S. in February.
Muthana said ....They can watch over me 24/7, Id be OK with that, .... I want my son to be around my family,... I want to go to school,... I want to have a job... and I want to have my own car.
She said...."getting by day to day is a struggleays she finds it "hard to get up in the morning".."We cant afford bottled water, so we have to drink the tank water and it causes stomach aches.
Her Attorney is Hassan Shibly, a lawyer with the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)....( That figures)!
Keep reading and you’ll find all kinds of “reasons” why she’s not a citizen...If one doesn’t work, then go to the other.
Because she was a child of a diplomat - because the Constitution said so - because she was given a US Passport by mistake - because she renounced her US citizenship in favor of a foreign power and it keeps going - take your pick! A lot of people speaking with authority here but who is right?
She just wants a good life rather than a life in a refugee camp now all her husbands are gone that gave that to her. She is certainly still a terrorist.....trying to fool others she isn’t is fruitless.
re: “Under what circumstance is a person born in the US and a holder of a US passport (albeit burned) not a US citizen?”
She was the daughter of a foreign diplomat ...
She carries in her the entitlement attitude of both Islam and that of the leftist entitlement. Further wanting a car of her own is truly disgusting since she encouraged Islamists in our country to run over our citizens and k**l them!
She was the child of embassy staff and she obtained the passport by crooked means.
I suppose you claim that a pregnant Mexican woman can steal across the border, pop out a baby, and the baby is an American citizen.
There's a whole procedure for renouncing your citizenship, which involves filling out forms, being interviewed by a consular official, and paying something like $2600. Just announcing that you're renouncing your citizenship doesn't make it valid in the eyes of US law.
“married three separate ISIS fighters”
She must have a magic va-jay-jay.
