A JIHADI bride who travelled to Syria to join ISIS terrorists could return to the UK after immigration judges backed her.
They ruled the Home Office should no longer block her because she needs medical care and now has a son.

And they have told Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to reconsider the application “as soon as possible”.
Yesterday, campaigners branded the judges’ decision “deplorable and immoral”.
Rob Bates, of the Centre for Migration Control, said: “The human rights of a known security risk is being allowed to trammel the wellbeing and safety of Brits.”
The woman — being kept alongside fellow terror bride Shamima Begum in the Al Roj camp in northern Syria — left Britain with her husband in 2014.
She was stripped of her citizenship in 2017 and suffered a brain injury in an air strike in 2019.
She is cared for by her son who, despite being born in Syria, is a British citizen.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was deemed a national security risk in February of last year.
But the Special Immigration Appeals Commission has rejected arguments that the danger she poses has not diminished.
Her application to be allowed back to Britain comes amid uncertain futures for the 40,000 people held in Syrian prison camps following the toppling of dictator Bashar al-Assad.
An email from an MI5 officer — cited in the judges’ ruling — said: “Concerns have been raised in relation to her safety and that of her son (including risk to life) due to the perception of her disability among the other camp residents, including that there is a lack of specialist medical care.”
Clinical psychologist Professor Nimisha Patel said bringing the boy back to Britain without his mum would “undoubtedly lead to intense and likely prolonged distress” for the pair.
The woman is also appealing against the decision to revoke er citizenship.
The Home Office said it did not comment on individual cases.
