A US judge to hear the case of Hoda Muthana, who joined Daesh in Syria but now wants to return home
A federal judge in Washington has agreed to move quickly on a lawsuit filed by a former Alabama woman who joined Daesh terror group and wants to return to the United States.
The family of Muthana filed suit last week against the Trump administration after the government said she wasn't a citizen and wouldn't be allowed to enter the US with her 18-month-old son.Judge Reggie Walton granted that Tuesday and scheduled a hearing for Monday. But Hassan Shibly, a representative for the Muthana family and a staff member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, tweeted that she was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, in October 1994, months after her father informed the US government he was no longer a diplomat.
