A federal judge denied a request from the family of Hoda Muthana, an American-born woman who left Alabama to join ISIS, to expedite consideration of her case
The Trump administration has argued that Muthana is not a US citizen and is therefore not eligible to return to the country.The lawyer for her family, Charles Swift, argued that the case was eligible for expedited consideration because Muthana, who is being held in a refugee camp in northern Syria, faced immediate harm. He said her safety and ability to leave the country were precarious, noting that she has had to change camps at least once due to ISIS threats after interviews with the media.
Asked about the 2016 letter sent by the State Department informing Muthana that her passport had been revoked, Swift argued that she likely couldn't have known about it as it was mailed to her home in Alabama and she had already left the US. Speaking after the hearing, Swift said was"disappointed" by the ruling but"encouraged" by the judge's comments that in his view"foreshadow" an outcome that will be favorable to Muthana.
