Trump Administration Appeals to Never Before Used Court for Deportation The Trump administration is once again attempting to bypass due process protections and deport a foreign national, this time using a little known tribunal created in 1996 but never before employed.
Nazira Haji Zada, a 47 year old permanent resident from Afghanistan, is being heard in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, which was established to facilitate the removal of alleged "terrorists" from the US.
Critics have long argued that this court is unconstitutional, and its use in this case underscores those concerns.
