9月11日（路透社）——一名被指控支持伊斯兰国的阿富汗女性已被美国驱逐出境，这是美国司法部首次通过一个30年前设立的鲜为人知的法庭来处理“外国恐怖分子”驱逐案件。
美国司法部周五表示，现年47岁的纳齐拉·哈吉·扎达此前以合法永久居民身份居住在得克萨斯州，她在7月被捕后，同意不在外国恐怖分子驱逐法庭上继续抗辩自己的递解出境，随后被驱逐出境。

司法部指控她协助掩盖一起受伊斯兰国启发的未遂大规模枪击阴谋，该阴谋原计划在2024年选举日实施。她从未被指控任何罪行，但她的儿子和女婿已于去年对相关指控认罪。
该法庭于1996年由国会设立，自成立以来数十年来一直未被启用。该法庭允许政府在驱逐案件中使用保密证据。
她的律师最初辩称，这种秘密程序侵犯了她的正当程序权利。此类案件中的被告无权查看对其不利的保密证据。

但根据周五公开的法庭文件，哈吉·扎达于上月承认自己是应被驱逐的“外国恐怖分子”。法庭首席法官琼·埃里克森随后批准了对她的驱逐。
美国司法部长托德·布兰奇在一份声明中表示：“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，这是国家安全和法治的胜利。”
此案是唐纳德·特朗普政府作为移民镇压措施一系列激进驱逐行动中的最新一例。
不过目前尚不清楚司法部是否会在近期再次启用这个鲜为人知的法庭。
代表哈吉·扎达的公设辩护人马修·法利在一份声明中表示，她“选择同意被驱逐，不应被视为对该法庭合法性的认可”。
“将合法永久居民拖入法庭，却拒绝向他们及其律师展示将用于指控他们的证据，这显然违反了正当程序，”他说。“我们相信，只要有法官提出相关质疑，外国恐怖分子驱逐法庭就会被裁定违宪。”

Sept 11 (Reuters) – An Afghan woman accused of supporting the Islamic State has been deported from the United States in the first case to be pursued by the U.S. Department of Justice through a little-known court created 30 years ago to deport “alien terrorists.”
Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old who had been residing in Texas as a lawful permanent resident of the United States, was deported after agreeing not to continue to fight against her removal in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court following her arrest in July, the department said on Friday.

The Justice Department had accused her of helping conceal a failed, Islamic State-inspired plot to commit a mass shooting on Election Day 2024. She was never charged with any crime, but her son and son-in-law pleaded guilty to related charges last year.
Her case had been filed in a court that had gone unused in the decades since its creation by Congress in 1996. That court allows the government to rely on classified evidence in deportation cases.
Her attorney initially argued the secretive process violated her due process rights. Defendants in such cases are not allowed to review the classified evidence used against them.

But according to court documents unsealed on Friday, Haji Zada agreed last month that she was an “alien terrorist” subject to removal. The court’s chief judge, Joan Ericksen, subsequently approved her deportation.
“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,” U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
The case marked the latest in a series of aggressive moves by President Donald Trump’s administration to carry out deportations as part of an immigration crackdown.
It was unclear, though, whether the Justice Department would use the obscure court again anytime soon.
Matthew Farley, a public defender who represented Haji Zada, in a statement said her “choice to consent to removal should not be seen as an endorsement of this court’s legitimacy.”
“Dragging lawful permanent residents into court but refusing to show them or their attorneys the evidence that will be used against them is a plain violation of due process,” he said. “We are confident that the Alien Terrorist Removal Court will be struck down as unconstitutional as soon as a judge is asked to address the issue.”
