LPR deported after expedited ‘alien terrorist’ ruling sparks security debate

The DOJ used classified information to designate Nazira Haji Zada as an alien terrorist, leading Chief Judge Joan Ericksen to order her removal; Zada, a lawful permanent resident, allegedly helped radicalize relatives in an ISIS-linked plot and reportedly waived appeal. Her public defenders say the case violated due process, while supporters frame it as a national-security win, leaving questions about the court’s future use.

First Alien Terrorist Removal Court Hearing Opens in ISIS-Linked Deportation Case

Nazira Haji Zada, a lawful permanent resident, appeared before the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court in a civil removal case DOJ says targets her role in an ISIS-inspired plot to disrupt Election Day 2024; defense lawyers argued the process violates due process and constitutional rights, while the DOJ maintains the ATRC is a legitimate tool for removing alien terrorists and notes the court has not been used in decades, with future hearings to determine the case’s fate.

Dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court Activated in ISIS-Linked Deportation Case

The Trump administration is using the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court to deport Nazira Haji Zada of Fort Worth, Texas, accusing her of aiding an ISIS-inspired Election Day plot; the case marks the court's first use since 1996, with initial hearings in Washington, D.C., and ties to her son and son-in-law, who faced convictions or pleas in related 2024 terrorism cases.

Dormant alien-terrorist court activated to deport ISIS-linked matriarch

The Trump-era DOJ activated the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court to pursue the deportation of Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old lawful permanent resident whose case rests on allegations that she pledged loyalty to ISIS and helped radicalize her children amid a 2024 ISIS plot by her son and son-in-law. The government argues traditional immigration courts wouldn’t suffice, and an initial status hearing is set in Washington, D.C. The court, created in 1996 but never used, will hear the multi-phase case as most evidence remains classified; Haji Zada has no U.S. criminal history and her husband previously worked for the U.S. government without knowledge of the alleged plans.

Secretive deportation court to hear Afghan mother's ISIS-linked case

The U.S. DOJ is moving to deport Nazira Haji Zada, the Afghan mother of a convicted ISIS-linked plotter, through the dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court. The first hearing is scheduled in Washington, with limited public access under a 1996 law; the court is staffed by five federal judges and uses a lower standard of proof than criminal trials. Critics question the ATRC’s constitutionality, while DOJ argues the mechanism is necessary for national security.

Trump Triggers Dormant Alien-Terrorist Court to Fast-Track Deportations

The Trump administration has activated the long-dormant Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the first time, submitting the initial application to deport an ‘alien terrorist’ or their immediate family; the filing is sealed and a sealed hearing was held by Judge Joan Ericksen, with an updated response due soon. The move signals a broader push to expand deportation authority, echoing earlier attempts to deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals by labeling them terrorists, though scholars question due-process concerns in the court’s secret-evidence framework. If approved, the target would receive a public hearing and any appeal would go to the D.C. Circuit.
