President Trump said an Alabama woman who left her home in Alabama to join ISIS forces in Syria will not be allowed back in the United States. She began pleading to come back to America this week.

“I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!” Trump said in the tweet posted just after 3 p.m. CST Wednesday.

Muthana, now 24, left Alabama to join ISIS forces in Syria in 2014. In a report from The Guardian posted Monday, she says she “deeply regrets” her decision to join ISIS.

Earlier Wednesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said she has no “legal basis” to claim American citizenship.

“Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States,” Pompeo said. “She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport nor any visa to travel to the United States.”

In an interview with ABC News, she said she hopes people will have sympathy for her and calls herself “young and ignorant” when she decided to leave the U.S.

“I hope they excuse me because of how young and ignorant I was. Now I’m changed. Now I’m a mother and I have none of the ideology and hopefully everyone will see it when I come back,” she said during an interview with ABC News. “I hope America doesn’t think I’m a threat to them and I hope they can accept me.”

Shortly after she left the country, she became a recruiter for ISIS on Twitter, calling for attacks on Americans.

She says she’s ready to face the consequences of her actions, including jail time.

Hoover City Councilman John Lyda called Trump’s announcement “the right call”:

The right call. Thankful to see this statement from @secpompeo that she is not welcome in the U.S. She’s certainly not welcome back in the @CityofHoover as far as I’m concerned. https://t.co/qKJpQbJ9SI — John B Lyda (@johnlyda) February 21, 2019

“I’m proud to say she’s not welcome back in Hoover,“ Lyda told AL.com during a phone interview Thursday morning. Lyda serves as the city councilman for Place 3. "The extreme view Hoda has espoused is not at all representative of the city of Hoover, Alabama or its citizens. It’s uncommon and it’s concerning.”

Lyda said the news of Muthana leaving the U.S. to join ISIS in Syria was shocking to many Hoover residents.

While he said he agrees with the president and the secretary of state’s comments on Muthana’s citizenship, he said she should be prosecuted if higher courts determine she can return to the U.S.

“I think this is the first step in a lengthy legal process,” Lyda said.
