From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbarale. This is the Daily.

Today, they left home to join the Caliphate and took an oath of allegiance to a terrorist group

intent on destroying the United States. Now they want to come home.

What should the US do with the American wives of ISIS fighters?

It's Friday, February 22.

Rukmini Kalamaki, tell me about getting to this detention center.

So I've been in Syria at this point for almost three weeks and we woke up early and we drove about two and a half hours to the northeast of the country.

And there there's a sprawling refugee camp where thousands of people are being held in a pseudo detention state.

And we got out and we explained that we're with the New York Times. We had an appointment to come there.

And they asked us to go into a small room where there was a heated furnace and a couple of chairs.

So we waited in this room for more than an hour.

I was starting to get nervous because I was told that the camp closes down at around three and it was I think close to two.

When suddenly I heard a commotion outside and I walked out and I saw two women.

They were wearing the full berk at the full face covering blackmail that is typical of the Islamic State.

But they were speaking fluent English with an American accent because they were American.

So I invited them into the room where I had been sitting. And at that point they flipped back their necops, their face fell.

And I saw that one looked to be in her maybe late 30s or 40s. The other one was clearly a young woman.

And I recognized her face. Her name is Huda Muthana. She's a young woman from Alabama, 24 years old.

She sat down next to me and I turned on my recorder.

Can I switch what you second here her better?

Yeah, thank you so much.

Huda starts her story in 2014. She says that she came from an ultra conservative Muslim family.
