First Case in 30-Year-Old Terror Court | Roanoke News
Description
An Afghan woman, Nazira Haji Zada, is breaking new ground as the first person ever charged in the dormant 30-year-old Alien Terrorist Removal Court — a special tribunal created to expel alien terrorists. Arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, she faces deportation after the FBI alleges she supported an ISIS-inspired plot and had her children pledge allegiance to the terror group. Her son, currently serving a 15-year sentence, and son-in-law — once a U.S. military security contractor — were both convicted for planning an Election Day attack. The Justice Department is using this historic case to underscore that terrorists have no place in America, with proceedings now underway in Washington, D.C.
