An Ivy League student decided to go to Syria, after telling the FBI that he had no money to get there, join ISIS, shortly thereafter decided that ISIS wasn't all it was cracked up to be, they were evil (shocking), begged to be rescued, got out, got back to the US, was arrested.
Here is what he wrote in his appeal for someone to save him from his stupid decision:

The question is, should he have been allowed back in after becoming a traitor to this country? Should he be allowed to serve his prison sentence in the US or should he be shipped to Guantanamo? Or should he be treated as a traitor should be treated?
And what is with millennials always asking for a "do over". "I just want everything back to normal", yeah, it doesn't work like that, especially when you go off to join a terrorist organization that is hell bent on killing as many people as possible. No, you don't get to say, "just kidding" or "let's forget this ever happened".
Here's more from an interview in May:

To me, he sounds like a brain washed fool who bought in to the propaganda, and I'm sure he absolutely regrets ever going over to join, but the fact is, he did. I consider him a traitor and believe he should be treated as one. I don't care if he was young and naive, that's exactly the type of people ISIS preys upon to join them. Being 'young and stupid' works when you toilet paper someone's house, it does not answer for joining a terrorist organization after lying to the FBI about it days earlier.
