DOJ Deports Afghan Woman in First Terror Removal Court Case
- The Justice Department announced Friday that Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan woman accused of supporting an Islamic State-inspired plot, has been deported in the first case processed through the Alien Terrorist Removal Court.
- Authorities arrested Haji Zada in July at her Fort Worth, Texas, home after accusing her of supporting an Islamic State-inspired plot. She is the mother and mother-in-law of two Afghan men convicted of plotting an Oklahoma attack on Election Day.
- Established in 1996, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court had received no petitions until recently and comprises five federal judges from different districts across the United States conducting specialized deportation proceedings.
- By waiving her rights to challenge detention, Haji Zada agreed to deportation, avoiding a protracted legal fight that would have tested the court's authority and the strength of the government's allegations.
- Details regarding when and where Haji Zada was deported remain undisclosed, though the Justice Department confirmed the action. The underlying plot involving her family was foiled before any attack could occur in the United States.
