Politico has the details on Hoda Muthana's father's lawsuit on her behalf seeking her return to the U.S. politico.com/story/2019/02/…
Lawgeeks, the complaint is linked at the article. This is the meat of the argument:

There is one little detail in here that I haven't seen covered in any of the Muthana articles so far. Can you see it?
Be honest with you, I think this story would have been reported very differently if people knew that it was the Obama administration that first determined that Muthana was not a U.S. citizen.
As reported, this is presented as some monstrous Trump/Pompeo idea when really he's ratifying the decision of the previous administration.
I still tend to think that decision was incorrect based on what we know of Muthana's passport applications, which were granted during the Bush 43 administration.
Anyway, another media failing; as ever, when journos mess this stuff up, it only ever redounds one way.
