Hoda Muthana

Got to admit; this one has me conflicted:

Quote:An Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State lost a first round on Monday in a legal fight to return to the U.S. with her toddler son, even as a judge seemed to support at least one argument made by her lawyer for her U.S. citizenship.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton denied a request for "expedited" proceedings for Hoda Muthana, whose lawyers sought to have her lawsuit litigated on an emergency schedule so she could get out of a refugee camp in Syria and back to the U.S.

Legal issues aside: her desire to return for the welfare of her child is commendable; however, I sure lots of mothers would want to come here for the sake of their children. Many of whom never called for death to Westerners.

Pompeo saying she's a threat may be going a little far; as I'd hope her first destination in the states would be incarceration. I suppose the child would become a ward of the state.
