A woman who ran away from home in Alabama to join ISIS said she felt "broken" when the US revoked her citizenship for aiding the terror group.
Hoda Muthana spoke in an interview with The News Movement (TNM), conducted from a prison camp in Syria where she is being held by US-allied forces.
She said she wanted to return to the US, and volunteered to serve time in prison if necessary.
That seems unlikely to happen — the Obama administration stripped Muthana of citizenship in 2016. In 2019, then-President Donald Trump tweeted that he had personally barred Muthana from the US.
And in 2021 a federal appeals court affirmed that she wasn't a US citizen, and rejected her father's attempt to compel the government to let her return.
The US argued that Muthana should never have been treated as a US citizen since her father was a diplomat for Yemen when she was born.
The appeals court supported that decision, describing Hoda as "a prominent spokeswoman for ISIS on social media, advocating the killing of Americans and encouraging American women to join ISIS."
But in her interview, a visibly emotional Muthana said: "I still believe I'm a [US] citizen now."
"I've been through a lot of horrible horrible things in my life. One of the worst feelings I've ever had is someone telling me I wasn't an American citizen. That broke me completely."

Gives new meaning to “go woke, go broke”.
Does she have a lawyer from the CAIR lobby?

Last year we went to Syria because we wanted to speak to young women who packed up their things and left to join ISIS. I spent four days with Hoda. Her story is extremely complicated but she agreed to tell us it in full. It’s out Sunday.

Poor baby.
She doesn’t deserve citizenship in this country.
America is the land of overabundance, and we already have an overabundance of America-hating ahos living here. You had your chance and your terrorist ass blew it. Americans don’t want you here. Go find somewhere else to play your terrorist BS.
They always come back. “I’ll move out of the US if Trump is elected” said hundreds of Hollywood a-holes. They may visit their villa in Paris…but they always come back.
They are foreign nationals. That’s why diplomats have a carve out. The guy who wrote the Amendment spelled it all out, it was intended to clear up any misconceptions about Slaves, another Democrat institution.
The offspring of illegal aliens didn’t commit a crime, so what? Illegal aliens are foreign nationals. They are “subject to the jurisdiction” insofar as they can be deported.
This isn’t complicated. Sometimes people want to muddy the water, to try and make it look deep.
Are you sure about that? No state can deprive someone of US citizenship.
Buyer’s Remorse on steroids.
Tough cookies, lady.
Choices have consequences!
Not buying crazy today, we’re all stocked up.
play stupid games, ...
She is not as “broken” as she ought to be.
She is not using the term “broken” in the same context as you. When used by her it takes on a different meaning.
Not even Obama wanted her coming back.
Since this was also Trump’s policy, I’m surprised Biden has not welcomed her back into America, citizenship restored just to spite Donald Trump. This is how Joe Biden usually thinks.
A card laid is a card played, sweet heart. You dealt it now eat it.
I have no doubt she would not like my meaning, but even by her own terms, I submit she is not as broken as she ought to be.
Should’ve considered it when you decided to side with the enemy of the US
your citizenship comes off your parents citizenship.. NOT the location you were born in (except for canada which has citizenship by the soil).
this is why anchor babies are not US citizens regardless where they got squatted out as their parents weren’t US citizens.
