Alabama woman who joined ISIS hoping to be allowed back in the US

An Alabama woman who fled home to join ISIS in 2014 is hoping to return to the U.S., saying she regrets he actions and vowing to be an advocate against extremism.

Muthana, who was born in New Jersey to Yemeni immigrants and was raised in Alabama, ran away from home at the age of 20 to join ISIS. Raised in a conservative Muslim household, she told her family she was going on a school trip but instead flew to Turkey and crossed into Syria using funds from secretly cashed tuition checks.
