Pompeo on ISIS bride with CAIR lawyer: “She’s a noncitizen terrorist…she’s not coming back to the US”

Feb 25, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The establishment media and Hamas-linked CAIR continue to push for the US and the UK to readmit Islamic State jihadis. These are people who joined an entity that is avowedly at war with both countries, and that has repeatedly called for the murder of American and British civilians. They should not be allowed back in. So far the Trump administration is standing firm.

“‘She’s a noncitizen terrorist’: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rejects lawsuit filed against the Trump administration by ISIS wife Hoda Muthana, adding ‘She’s not coming back to the United States,'” by Emily Goodin, Dailymail.com, February 24, 2019:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rejected the citizenship argument being made by Hoda Muthana, a woman known as an ‘ISIS bride’ for her decision to leave the U.S. and marry a terrorist fighter in Syria, calling her a ‘noncitizen terrorist’ and adding ‘she’s not coming back to the United States.’

‘She’s a noncitizen terrorist. She has no legal basis for her claim of U.S. citizenship. She’s not coming back to the United States to create the risk that somebody should return to the battlefield and continue to put at risk American people, American kids, American boys and girls that were sent to help defeat ISIS. She put them at risk. She’s not a citizen. She’s not coming back,’ Pompeo said on ‘Fox News Sunday.’

‘Fox News Sunday’ host Chris Wallace pressed Pompeo on Muthana’s citizenship issue but he didn’t elaborate other than to say the U.S. has a ‘strong legal basis for our claim.’

‘So, there’s litigation ongoing,’ Pompeo said. ‘Here’s what I can tell you, we have a strong legal basis for our claim that she is not citizen and she’s not coming back.’

Muthana attorney Hassan Shibly told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that his client is a citizen because she was born in the U.S. He claimed the Trump administration is trying to make her a ‘test case’ to support the president’s position that awarding birthright citizenship requires a misreading of the U.S. Constitution.

‘The Trump administration has been trying to limit birthright citizenship,’ Shibly said, claiming the president will likely ‘try to use’ the case ‘against a much broader group of Americans, mostly Latino Americans.’ …

    I think we have to start referring to them as female terrorists. Referring to them as brides makes them sound innocent and hopeful.

      I agree. And they should not be referred to as fighters. They are savage animals who raped, tortured and massacred civilians. They are the worst koranimals on earth.

        Agree. These women are morally the equivalent of the SS-Hilferinnen who staffed Auschwitz. They worked alongside the men to create genocide, enslavement, torture and warfare against constitutional authority.

    I hope Pres Trump and Pompeo stand strong and do NOT allow this traitor back into the USA!
    Once a traitor always a traitor. We cannot endanger law abiding US citizens no matter what the liberal progressives want to spin this as!! God save America!!
    I thank the lord everyday that we have Pres Trump!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      Disagree. There is hope that sinners repent or your faith is vain.

        “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? (Jeremiah 13).”

        Of course not. This is saying that for a person accustomed to doing evil, there will be a real struggle to change.
        The Christian does not have to “hope” that every evil person changes and become good in order for ones’ faith to not be “vain.”

        In vain, and vain…are different.
        Being “vain” is thinking too much of oneself.

        Vanity is “striving after the wind (Ecclesiastes).” Some things are ‘hopeless.’
        Expecting an evil person…such as this terrorist…to do good, is for the most part, hopeless. It is no reflection on the Christian’s faith.

          I must agree with your sentiment. The biblical “faith” referred to is not faith that sinners will change their ways but that there is a god who has a son called Jesus who died for sinners. I personally don’t believe this but that is the essence of the faith spoken of the bible.

      • Savvy Kafir says

        Feb 25, 2019 at 4:05 pm

        Your faith IS vain. It’s not based upon reality. But their faith is vain AND far more toxic & dangerous.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 27, 2019 at 12:27 am

        Yes–Muslims *can* repent, as can any human.

        But there is *no* evidence that this Jihadist regrets anything she has done in the name of her savage creed.

  3. somehistory says

    Feb 25, 2019 at 11:25 am

    This shil by creep is trying to muddy the legal waters by bringing in “latino” phrases. He hopes that any judge or jury…if the claims actually make it to court…will rule in the terrorist’s favor because “latinos” will be targeted next.

    If she was born on embassy grounds, according to ‘law’, an embassy is on land controlled by the country whose embassy it is. If her father was an embassy employee, he was given special status…to break laws, even…because the embassy is protected from the legalities of the host country. But they want it to be that the laws they wish to apply to them…birthplace for one..give them “rights”.It’s called cherry-picking.

    Is this the ISIS-loving Jezebel who lost two babies before she had the current male child? If so, how did the other two die? Were they murdered/

    • mortimer says

      Feb 25, 2019 at 12:21 pm

      A loving parent would get their child the hell out of a war zone. She’s an amoral genocidist and complicit in the genocide.

    Hoba Huthana has much gall to want to return to America after she had left the USA to travel to Syria to join ISIS. Now she claims to have recognized her folly and the ISIS is awful.
    If she is actually sincere that’s good, but don’t trust her too much. On the other hand if she might be lying for the Islamic “state” and then may prove to be dangerous. For the deceptive scheming wicked ways of ISIS hand no limit. For she might really be a human time bomb waiting to go off in America
    Therefore, a reiteration of the very important message is well worth making

    For the phenomena of females who are jihad suicide /homicide bombers is tragic, sad, yet t interesting in a negative sort of way. The reasons for the delusional and murderous behavior by brainwashed, girls and women is the mind programming inflected on them by the Muslims clerics, as the imams, who keep telling them lines and lies. Such as “We will honor you” and “You will go to paradise” and “We are doing this for Allah.” That’s some strange kind of “We.” For the reader might ,very well ,notice the those same Muslim clerics who so thoroughly mind indoctrinate them into actually wanting to become human bombs are never, ever, the ones who strap bombs vest on themselves and then go out and blow themselves up in a suicide bombing. Those Islamic clerics just mind condition and then manipulate them to become, literally, dangerous to self and others by engaging in murderous bombs attacks. Ten the same Muslim clerics sit home safe all the while the deadly bombing are going on. Therefore those Islamic clerics who use those girls and women as stooges for the jihad are both despicable and cowardly.

    In addition, Islam gives female be they girls or women, little to no value or worth because Islam because is, in essence, a religion of extreme misogyny. Nevertheless, the Muslim clerics and the jihadist leaders of different jihad organizations will not hesitate to use girls and women for the advancement of their jihad agenda for Islam. How Ironic. How unconscionable! How callous! They are so very wicked. The Bible informs its reader that “The counsels of the wicked are deceitful.” Proverbs 12:5. [N.K.J.V.]

    If the muslima really is a US citizen, then strip her of her citizenship.

    • Lu says

      Feb 27, 2019 at 12:43 am

      Well – if she was born here and acquired citizenship based on jus soli, I fear that nothing can be done. Treating her as enemy combatant (which she clearly is) is another thing: she should be sent straight to Gitmo – but even here I am not sure if US citizens can be treated like that …

  8. A_M_Swallow says

    Feb 25, 2019 at 2:45 pm

    I smell conspiracy. Instead of sending these Muslims warriors into retirement in a Muslim country such as Saudi Arabia the main stream media is sending then to Christian countries. There they will attack whites causing the grandmother of haterred of Muslims. The Muslims will be killed and the Jews will be able to buy their shops at a very cheap price.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 27, 2019 at 12:45 am

      *Are you serious*–or is this some bizarre attempt at humor?

      No–Muslims attacking us are not victims, and Jews are not making Muslims look bad so that they can buy up kebab shops. What a grotesque load of tripe.

      • A_M_Swallow says

        Feb 27, 2019 at 1:00 am

        Not really serious. I was inventing the sort of conspiracy theories that Arabs and Iranians like.

        I am suspicious about why the MSM wants the ISIS brides back in the USA, Britain and Germany. Do the Jewish (and Arab) media owners have an agender?

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 27, 2019 at 1:02 am

          OK–I found it very surprising that you would write something like that, A_M_Swallow. But yes–this is how Muslims think.

  9. A_M_Swallow says

    Feb 25, 2019 at 2:48 pm

    When Jesus forgave someone he also told them to sin no more. These Jihadis intend to continue committing the sin of murder.

  10. Savvy Kafir says

    Feb 25, 2019 at 3:54 pm

    About the photo — Whenever we see photos of sweet, innocent little Muslim children who we are keeping out of the West, or who we are deporting along with their parents, etc., we need to counter our natural inclination to sympathize by thinking about OUR OWN children. (As I’m sure many of you do.)

    Either those Muslim children are going to lose opportunities and suffer, or OUR children in our own countries are going to be put at risk, and eventually will suffer for certain. If Muslims remain in the West, our children will be put at risk of terrorist attacks. And the societies our children & grandchildren live in will be far less free & happy & healthy, because of the increasing influence of Islam.

    The same applies to oppressed Muslim women who want to live in the West, versus the safety & happiness of our own women — who will be less safe and more oppressed, the longer Muslims are allowed to remain in the West.

    This situation, in which either they will lose, or we & our own will lose, is created by the basic nature of THEIR hostile, imperialistic, infidel-hating religion. We don’t owe them anything. And we cannot afford to sympathize with them. It really is either us or them.

    • tim gallagher says

      Feb 25, 2019 at 6:19 pm

      I agree with your comment, Savvy Kafir. It’s a very good summary of the situation. I have also thought for a long time that, when it comes to Islam, there is no way we can get along with such a hate-filled, aggressive ideology and it is definitely “either us or them”. If Islam wins , life will be hell for all of us.

    While I believe Hoda Muthana deserves an orange jumpsuit and a firsthand education in the process for prosecuting federal crimes, I do not think the Administration can win the legal battle coming.

    Hoda Muthana as born in the USA to parents who had ceased to be in diplomatic status; meaning she was born in the USA and under its jurisdiction. By the 14th Amendment, she is a citizen. This does not change even if she is a thoroughly despicable person and probably guilty of treason. Pompeo should instead instruct the local consular officers that should the Kurds release Ms. Muthana and she makes her way to a US Consulate, she can only get a passport valid for return to a specific US port of entry, where ICE and FBI will be waiting with handcuffs. Perhaps the Kurds might even release her to the custody of US forces or agents for return to the USA to face justice.

    • Mike Forrester says

      Feb 26, 2019 at 7:48 pm

      The facts don’t support that her father was no longer here on diplomatic status. He entered under a diplomatic passport but did not leave or surrender his diplomatic passport before she was born. The government would have had to be notified and his new passport information submitted or he would have had to leave and return.

  12. somehistory says

    “vain” has two basic meanings: “without hope” and “thinking too much of oneself, or one’s attributes or talents.”
    The Christian faith is not “vain.” It is not “without hope” and it does not cause a person to “Think more of oneself than is necessary to think.” This faith actually causes one to realize his limitations, and that there is One Who is Superior in every way.
    The Bible actually says that those who refuse belief in God are without a true hope.

    The Christian Faith actually produces hope in the person who is in possession of it and it adds much joy and satisfaction to one’s life. Since it doesn’t hurt you, you shouldn’t care if someone has faith in the True God. And you may as well not say I have to “prove” God’s existence as I would just say to you, “disprove that He lives.” There is certainly more proof for His existence than there is to say He does not live.
    The hands used to type comments on this site…all of the hands…are evidence of His Creative powers and proof that He lives.

    Why do so many of these muslimas look like ET. Even her kid looks like ET. The San Bernardino muslima looked more like ET than ET itself did. I guess it’s all inbreeding generation after generation.
