Family of Kansas woman who allegedly joined ISIS wants nothing to do with her
[FoxNews] The family of a Kansas woman accused of joining ISIS and training an all-female unit in Syria wants nothing to do with her, prosecutors said.

Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, made her initial appearance Monday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Prosecutors say that the alleged jihadist, who is charged with providing material support to a terrorist organization, tried to recruit operatives to attack a U.S. college campus and shopping mall.

Fluke-Ekren allegedly became the leader of an ISIS unit called "Khatiba Nusaybah" in the Syrian city of Raqqa in late 2016.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Raj Parekh told the judge that he had been in communication with Fluke-Ekren's parents and adult children,
What adult children? As far as we know, there are only the four with her first husband, Mr. Ekren the sniper, that they took with them to ISIS in Syria, and the child of their jacket wallah friends that she took in...
and they all said they wanted no contact with her.

Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis said he could not prevent her from reaching out to them from jail.

Fluke-Ekren, wearing an inmate jumpsuit and headscarf, said she understood the request. She's due back in court on Thursday for a detention hearing.

If convicted, Fluke-Ekren faces up to 20 years in prison. Her lawyer declined to comment.
