President Trump says he made the decision to bar an Alabama woman who left home to join ISIS in Syria from returning to the United States. 'I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!' Muthana, who left America four years ago to join ISIS, has previously been issued two U.S. passports—one when she was a child and another in 2014. She used her second U.S. passport to fly from Birmingham, Alabama to Istanbul, which she fled to join ISIS, her lawyer said. In her ABC interview, Hoda gave a confusing explanation for why she initially fled her parents' home to join ISIS, saying that it was because she wanted a more 'Americanized life'.
