华盛顿——美国司法部周五宣布，居住在德克萨斯州的阿富汗永久居民被指控为“外国恐怖分子”并被驱逐，这是此类案件的首例。
47岁的纳齐拉·哈吉·扎达（Nazira Haji Zada）选择离开美国，而非继续在外国恐怖分子驱逐法庭（Alien Terrorist Removal Court）就该案进行诉讼，司法部表示。
外国恐怖分子驱逐法庭于1996年首次设立，旨在允许政府驱逐那些因案件信息属于机密、出于国家安全原因无法公开，而无法通过传统法律程序被驱逐的非公民。
代理哈吉·扎达的公设辩护人最初曾表示，她打算对抗政府的驱逐行动，称该法庭的秘密规则侵犯了她的正当程序权利。
该法庭针对非公民的恐怖分子驱逐程序——包括合法永久居民在内——不允许其查看针对自己的机密证据。与刑事诉讼不同，被告被禁止就政府收集证据的方式提起合法质疑。
哈吉·扎达从未受到刑事指控。不过，她的儿子阿卜杜拉·哈吉·扎达（Abdullah Haji Zada）和女婿纳西尔·艾哈迈德·陶赫迪（Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi）均因2024年选举日实施受伊斯兰国启发的大规模枪击阴谋被起诉并定罪。
司法部指控哈吉·扎达支持他们的计划，并试图激进化自己的子女以支持伊斯兰国。
司法部周五表示，已向她的律师分享了半太字节的文件，以佐证其关于她是外国恐怖分子的证据。司法部在一份新闻稿中称，哈吉·扎达“承认自己是外国恐怖分子，并放弃对驱逐令的上诉，终止了她此前的身份”。
美国司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）在一份声明中表示：“这一具有里程碑意义的案件促使这名外国恐怖分子被迅速遣返回原籍国，是国家安全和法治的胜利。那些支持和纵容恐怖主义的人不应在美国生活，这起提交至外国恐怖分子驱逐法庭的首例案件表明，司法部将动用所有可用工具保护我们的国家。”
Afghan woman in Texas dubbed an “alien terrorist” is deported in DOJ’s first case using obscure court

Washington— An Afghan permanent resident living in Texas has been deported after the Justice Department accused her of being an “alien terrorist,” in the first such case of its kind, the department announced on Friday.
Nazira Haji Zada, 47, opted to leave the United States rather than continue litigating the case in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, the department said.
The Alien Terrorist Removal Court was first created in 1996 to allow the government to deport noncitizens who could not be removed by the traditional legal process because the information about their cases was classified and could not be made public for national security reasons.
Public defenders representing Haji Zada had initially indicated she intended to fight the government’s efforts to deport her, saying the court’s secretive rules violated her due process rights.
The targets of the court’s noncitizen terrorist removal proceedings — including legal permanent residents — are not permitted to review the classified evidence against them. And unlike criminal proceedings, targets are barred from legally challenging how the evidence was collected by the government.
Haji Zada has never been charged with a crime. However, her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, were both prosecuted and convicted over a plot to commit an ISIS-inspired mass shooting on Election Day in 2024.
The Justice Department has alleged that Haji Zada supported their plans and worked to try to radicalize her children to support ISIS.
The Justice Department said on Friday that it had shared half a terabyte of documents with her lawyers in support of its evidence that she is an alien terrorist. Haji Zada “conceded that she is an alien terrorist and waived appeal of the removal order, terminating her previous status,” the department said in a press release.
“This landmark case, resulting in the prompt removal of this alien terrorist to her country of origin, is a win for national security and the rule of law,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. “Those who support and condone terrorism should not be living in the United States, and this first-ever case before the ATRC shows how the Department will use every tool at its disposal to protect our country.”
