First Use of Alien Terrorist Removal Court: Afghan Woman Deported
An Afghan woman, Nazira Haji Zada, was deported to Afghanistan after being the first case heard in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court. The Justice Department accused her of supporting her son and son-in-law's foiled 2024 shooting plot, linking her to terrorism. The court, established in 1996 but never used until now, allows the government to use secret evidence in deportation proceedings.45 sourcesSee all sources
