The U.S. Department of Justice has filed the first case in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC) seeking to deport Nazira Haji Zada, 47, of Fort Worth, Texas. Zada is accused of supporting her family’s plan to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass shooting on Election Day 2024. Her son and son-in-law, previously convicted for purchasing weapons for the attack, are already incarcerated. Zada’s removal application was filed on July 15, and she will appear before ATRC Chief Judge Joan N. Ericksen on July 30. The ATRC, established in 1996, allows swift removal of aliens deemed terrorists based on classified evidence. Officials emphasized the court’s role in addressing threats to national security without compromising sensitive information. Zada’s case marks the first use of the ATRC to remove an individual for aiding terrorist activities in the U.S.
