A Secret Court for a Secret Threat: The Case Against Nazira Haji Zada The Justice Department's decision to seek the deportation of Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan woman accused of ties to an ISIS linked plot, is a significant test case for the secretive Alien Terrorist Removal Court.
Established in 1996 as part of a broader effort to combat terrorism, this court has been dormant until now.
The allegations against Zada are serious: she is accused of supporting her son's and son in law's conspiracy, pledging loyalty to ISIS, and indoctrinating her children with extremist ideology.
