Trump says IS woman barred from US return

US President Donald Trump says a woman who left the US to become a propagandist for the Islamic State group will not be allowed to return.

Trump instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to allow Hoda Muthana back in the country

Mr. Pompeo had earlier stated that the 24-year-old was not a citizen and would not be admitted.

However her family and her lawyer maintain that she has US citizenship.

Ms Muthana, who grew up in Alabama traveled to Syria to join IS when she was 20.
