    Begum had wanted to return before the birth of her third child, but British Security Minister Ben Wallace said he was unwilling to risk British lives "to go looking for terrorists or former terrorists in a failed state," according to The Guardian.

    A letter sent Tuesday from the Home Office to Begum's mother, and obtained by ITV News, said: "In light of the circumstances of your daughter ... the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made." The Home Office asked the mother to inform her daughter of the decision, along with her right to appeal.

    Attorney Tasnime Akunjee said in a tweet that Begum's family is disappointed by the Home Office's move "to have an order made depriving Shamima of her citizenship." Askunjee said they are considering "all legal avenues to challenge this decision."

    Begum was the subject of an international search when, as a 15-year-old, she and two other teenage girls ran away from their homes in London and made their way through Turkey into Syria...

    Pompeo said that Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and does not have any valid visa to come back to America. Muthana has pleaded with the government to let her return to her family, telling The Guardian in an interview published this week that she regrets leaving the U.S. for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

    "Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States. 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. We continue to strongly advise all U.S. citizens not to travel to Syria," Pompeo said in a statement...

    I'm glad to see this happening.. but with all the immigration happening we KNOW there are infiltrators coming too.

    Once again the "actions have consequences" comes.. I hurt for those young ladies, but I'm happy they're not going to be allowed back.
