U.S. Government Revives Alien Terrorist Removal Court for First Deportation Case
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has invoked the rarely-used Alien Terrorist Removal Court to seek the deportation of an Afghan woman accused of supporting an ISIS plot. This marked the first time the court, established three decades ago but dormant until now, will hear a case. The secretive proceedings are part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to utilize existing legal frameworks for expedited deportations related to terrorism. Critics express concerns over the lack of due process in this special court, which has drawn attention for its potential implications on the immigration system.
