U.S. Deports Afghan Green Card Holder in First Use of Secret Alien Terrorist Court

The United States deported Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old Afghan lawful permanent resident of Texas, in the first-ever use of the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, a secretive tribunal created in 1996. She was never criminally charged but conceded to being an alien terrorist after prosecutors alleged she supported an ISIS-inspired Election Day 2024 mass shooting plot by her son and son-in-law, who pleaded guilty. Attorney General Todd Blanche called it a national security win, while her lawyers argued the classified-evidence process violates due process and is likely unconstitutional.
