An Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria won't be allowed to return to the United States with her toddler son because she is not an American citizen, the U.S. said Wednesday. "Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States," he said. But Hassan Shibly, a lawyer for the woman, insisted Muthana was born in the United States and had a valid passport before she joined the Islamic State in 2014. Muthana and her son are now in a refugee camp in Syria, along with others who fled the remnants of the Islamic State. Muthana's lawyer said she was "just a stupid, naive, young dumb woman," when she became enamored of Islamic State, believing it was an organization that protected Muslims.
