ISIS/LAWSUIT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WOMEN: “The father of an Alabama woman who joined ISIS and is now seeking a return to the U.S. filed a lawsuit Thursday [2-21-19] against President Donald Trump and other senior officials after the president said he had moved to bar her from reentry. Ahmed Ali Muthana filed the lawsuit in Washington, D.C., federal district court on behalf of Hoda Muthana, his daughter, who left Alabama in 2014 at the age of 19 and joined the terrorist group in Syria. Muthana has claimed she is a U.S. citizen, but the Trump administration says her status as the daughter of a Yemeni diplomat means she is not a naturalized citizen and thus not entitled to the Constitutional rights of an American citizen. Trump wrote on Twitter on Wednesday [2-20-19] that he instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to deny Muthana’s reentry. Pompeo on Wednesday said in a statement that Muthana was not a U.S. citizen and had no ‘legal basis’ to be brought back to the United States. Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr are also named in the suit.”
