(Gianrigo Marletta/AFP/Getty Images)President Trump said Wednesday that an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State will not be allowed back into the United States, prompting an outcry from the woman’s lawyer, who vowed to pursue legal action. Hoda Muthana, 24, left her home in Alabama in 2014 to marry an Islamic State fighter in Syria. “I don’t know if there are many Americans right now who hate ISIS as much as Hoda does,” Shibly said. She married an Islamic State fighter who was later killed in battle.
