Long-dormant court holds fits first public hearing as the US seeks to deport an Afghan woman
The Trump administration activated a long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court to seek the deportation of Afghan woman Nazira Haji Zada, whose son and son-in-law were convicted in the 2024 Election Day plot. Defense lawyer Matthew Farley argued the court's use violates constitutional rights, but Judge Joan Ericksen denied requests to dismiss the case. FBI claims she supported an ISIS-inspired attack and had her children pledge loyalty to the group.
