Hoda Muthana (Arabic: هدى مثنى; born October 28, 1994) is a U.S.-born Yemeni woman who emigrated from the United States to Syria to join ISIS in November 2014. She surrendered in January 2019 to coalition forces fighting ISIS in Syria and said she regretted joining ISIS, but has been denied access back to the United States after a U.S. court ruling rejected her claim to American citizenship. The courts ruled that when she was born, her father was a Yemeni diplomat, making her ineligible for American citizenship by birth.
