Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, speaking to "Fox News Sunday," forcefully rejected a lawsuit filed against the Trump administration this week by the father of an Alabama woman who left the U.S. to join the Islamic State group, saying in no uncertain terms that she is a "non-citizen terrorist" who "is not coming back."
In the federal court filing, Ahmed Ali Muthana argued that his daughter, Hoda Muthana, 24, is an American citizen by birth and that the White House should recognize her citizenship and "accept Ms. Muthana and her son back into the United States and to use all available means to do so." But Pompeo countered that Muthana had deliberately endangered U.S. soldiers and would not prevail in court.
"She's a non-citizen terrorist; she has no legal basis for a claim of U.S. citizenship," Pompeo told anchor Chris Wallace. "She's not coming back to the United States to create the risk that someday she'd return to the battlefield and continue to put at risk American people, American kids, American boys and girls that were sent to help defeat ISIS -- she put them at risk, she's not a U.S. citizen, she's not coming back."
Muthana, 24, has pleaded with officials to let her back into the U.S. following her recent escape from ISIS and capture by Kurdish forces. She was born in 1994 in Hackensack, N.J.
Hassan Shibly responds to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insistence that Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be allowed back into the country.

Damn Straight!!
Flag she’s not coming back. But how is she not a citizen of she was truly born in NJ?
Glad not flag
Flag shes not coming back. But how is she not a citizen of she was truly born in NJ?

Father was a diplomat from somewhere else. Can’t have kids who are US citizens. Read that on the internets.
Going to fight for the enemy is a relinquishment of citizenship.
Her father was a diplomat from Yemen, diplomat’s kids are not automatically granted citizenship if born in the U.S. Her father argues he resigned as a diplomat before she was born. U.S. records show he retained diplomatic immunity until about 3 months after she was born. It was the Obama administration who revoked her U.S. passport on the grounds she was not a U.S. citizen and they said the passport should never have been issued.
As a non citizen, does she have access to the Federal Court System?
If she is a citizen, she is guilty of treason in wartime and should be shot with a firing squad.
Would help to Clarify the Consequences of joining a death cult to get to rape and torture people to gain favor with your god.
No it isn't. But it is clearly treason. When are we going to get an Attorney general with some balls?
Chris Wallace is such a conniving, sniveling weasel. His voice alone is enough to turn milk into cheese.
The 14th Amendment was never meant to cover the children of ANY foreigners.
They are certainly not natural born citizens when they also have other citizenship(s).
Some here think she should be eligible to be President.
Some even think her son should be too.
following her recent escape from ISIS and capture by Kurdish forces.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She didn’t escape from ISIS, she joined ISIS and was captured by Kurdish forces when ISIS was defeated.
Some here are being deliberately ignorant.

I used to think they were being deliberately obtuse.
I’m beginning to think they are actively working to undermine the natural protections afforded by the natural born citizen requirement.
Only someone committed to overturning the clear intent of the founders to exclude foreign influence on the President would work so hard at it.
Heard that this morning also.
Thanx. Never knew that. I guess every diplomat would be dropping kids when they come here.
Let’s not be too sure about it.
There is CAIR, there are too many muzzies in this country and too many liberal judges and this has become another anti-Trump legal case. Just watch how many RATS politicians and the MSM will defend her.
Believe me, we haven’t heard the last of it. We have become a very strange country.
Let the Kurds deal with her. No way she comes back here.
