Alien Terrorist Removal Court Deports Legal U.S. Resident in First-Ever Case

For the first time, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court has been used to deport a legal U.S. resident, Nazira Haji Zada, to Afghanistan after she conceded to being an "alien terrorist." Prosecutors alleged she supported a plan for an Islamic State-inspired mass shooting. This landmark case establishes a precedent for national security and immigration law.
