Zada admitted to being an alien terrorist and had been involved in supporting a plot linked to ISIS, aiming to carry out an attack in the United States.The case demonstrates the court\u2019s function, which was established decades ago but never previously employed. Zada\u2019s family members, including her son Abdullah Haji zada and son-in-law Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who bought weapons from an undercover FBI agent, were also implicated. Abdullah Haji Zada is serving a sentence and will be deported after release, while Tawhedi awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to terrorism-related charges. Officials from DHS,the Justice Department,and the FBI highlighted the importance of this case in bolstering national security and enforcing the law against terrorism threats.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration made the first-ever use of the Alien Terrorist Removal Court this week in the case of an Afghan woman who admitted to being a terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>Nazira Haji Zada, 47, who had been living in Fort Worth, Texas, has been deported, according to a Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2026\/09\/16\/dhs-announces-removal-alien-terrorist-first-use-united-states-alien-terrorist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Zada had sought to help family members who were convicted in plot to commit a mass shooting in support of the Islamic State on Election Day 2024.<\/p>\n<p>DHS noted that the Alien Terrorist Removal Court was established decades ago, but had never been used before.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Breaking: DHS just removed Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old Afghan national who had been living in Fort Worth, Texas, after she conceded she is an alien terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first case ever brought before the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court, a specialized\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EDv3DVcbn8\">pic.twitter.com\/EDv3DVcbn8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kim \u201cKatie\u201d USA (@KimKatieUSA) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KimKatieUSA\/status\/2100246323094335904?\">September 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith her lawyers, Zada conceded that she is an alien terrorist and waived appeal of the removal order,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the moment President Trump took office, he made clear that his Administration would put the safety and security of the American people first,\u201d \u00a0DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s direction to use the Alien Terrorist Removal Court to expel Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan national who plotted with members of her family to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack on American soil, delivers on that promise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to the President\u2019s leadership and the coordinated efforts of the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and State, Nazira Haji Zada\u2019s final order of removal is now FINAL.
