ellapenella Posted February 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Will she be let back in to the US? Donald Trump has urged other western countries to repatriate captured fighters. He said in a tweet: "The US does not want to watch as these ISIS fighters permeate Europe, which is where they are expected to go. "We do so much, and spend so much – time for others to step up and do the job that they are so capable of doing." Otherwise, he said, the US would be forced to release them. http://bestwnews.com/world-news/who-is-hoda-muthana-us-isis-jihadi-bride-who-wants-to-return-home-from-syria/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellapenella Posted February 19, 2019 Author #2 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't want her to be permitted to return back , no. I don't trust it. The U.S saved Omar from a refugee camp in Yeman and now she's here in the U.S congress acting Un-American. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted February 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2019 So, you want to go against Trump in this? Because he is saying the various countries should take them back, try them for any crimes commited, and the keep them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep her out of the US. That's how I see it too. For all we know she still hates the U.S and will maybe want to infiltrate it like Omar has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted February 19, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Going back to the original topic, I guess I agree with Trump. They are still citizens of whatever country they are from and those countries should take responsibility for their wayward citizens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get around that by saying that because they are in Cuba and they aren't Americans, the Constitution doesn't apply. Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

I don't know about that. I think there's something more to it. As far as I'm concerned she can stay over there . I don't believe her, I see her as a danger and more of a danger since she lost her beloved husband. If we let her back she'll do the things she told others to do . She said these things. She should not be allowed back. She's a threat to our nation. She can't come back here. Quote Soon after, Muthana married her first husband, an Australian fighter called Suhan Rahman, who was killed in the city of Kobani in 2015. “Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping!” Muthana tweeted after Rahman’s death. “Go on drivebys, and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriots, Memorial, etc day…Kill them.” She would go on to become a prolific user of Twitter, inciting Americans to commit terror attacks at home. According to The Guardian, she claimed that her account had been taken over and used by ISIS as part of its propaganda outreach. https://www.newsweek.com/american-isis-woman-come-home-hoda-muthana-syria-alabama-1334550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She gets tried in Syria under Syrian laws and serves her sentence and then gets deported back to the US if US laws don't apply. Or (which is most likely the case in this instance) she gets tried in federal court for extraterritorial prosecution: https://www.fmamlaw.com/blog/2017/08/when-can-the-us-government-prosecute-someone-for-acts-abroad.shtml Basically her crime would be against the United States as a whole and the whole country qualifies as the state and district. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted February 19, 2019 #23 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have to add, it isn't illegal for an American to go and fight and kill people overseas. It's why Blackwater is a thing and these guys: https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-syria-american-militiamen-2019-htmlstory.html We just have made specific laws regarding terrorists and aiding them that we prosecute here in the US. If she hasn't broken any of these laws (pretty sure she did though), she is free to come and go to the US as she pleases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her crime may be against the United States, but the amendment you cited states that a person must be tried "wherein" the crime was committed. I'm no legal scholar, but there seems to be ample wiggle room between those two terms. Edited February 19, 2019 by Big Jim dropped word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had laws against traitors at least since the time of Benedict Arnold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
