A U.S.-born Muslim woman said on Saturday she regrets having joined the ISIS terrorist group and is appealing again to escape Syria and return to America to raise her young son.

The U.S. government has refused Hoda Muthana’s plea, saying she’s not an American citizen. Muthana was born to a Yemeni diplomat, and the children of foreign diplomats based in the United States are excluded from birthright citizenship.
