Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had a message for the ‘ISIS bride’ suing the Trump administration to get back into the US.
Secretary Pompeo told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday that Hoda Muthana is a “non-citizen terrorist” and she will not be returning to the US.
“Why is her case different? Why not allow her to come back in if she was born in the US and has a passport and face justice here?” Chris Wallace asked Pompeo.
Pompeo responded clearly and concisely, “She’s a non-citizen terrorist. She has no legal basis for her claim of US citizenship and she’s not coming back to the United States.”
“She’d return to the battlefield and continue to put at risk American people, American kids, American boys and girls that were sent to defeat ISIS.”
Pompeo added, “She put them at risk. She’s not a US citizen. She’s not coming back.

REWIND-
President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced last week that the woman who left Alabama to join ISIS in Syria and now wants to return to the United States is not an American citizen and therefore cannot return to the nation.
Hoda Muthana was born in the US to Yemeni diplomats which means the 14th Amendment does not apply to her, according to reports.
Her father subsequently sued Trump, Pompeo, and Attorney General William Barr for stripping her citizenship.
The Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America filed the suit on behalf of Hoda Muthana’s father Ahmed Ali Muthana on Thursday in federal court in Washington.
Muthana also gave birth to a son while she was in Syria. She now has an 18 month old ISIS baby who was not born in the United States.
When asked during her ABC interview if she would be open to jail time for joining the terrorist organization, the ISIS bride said she would be willing to go to “therapy lessons,” she added, “Jail time, I don’t know if that has an effect on people.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is also supporting her and providing her with a pro bono attorney.
The mainstream media has been attempting to paint a “heartbreaking” and sympathetic portrait of Muthana, despite the fact that the 24-year-old married four ISIS fighters in Syria. Muthana also infamously used social media to call for Americans to join the fight with ISIS.
President Trump revealed he instructed Secretary Pompeo to not allow this terrorist back into the United States and he agreed.
Thank you, President Trump and Secretary Pompeo.
