The United States has deported an Afghan woman who was a legal resident, marking the first time the secretive Alien Terrorist Removal Court has been used to secure such an order. The Justice Department confirmed the deportation.
This unprecedented action involved a case brought by the Justice Department, which successfully obtained a deportation order. Reports indicate the DOJ avoided a prolonged legal battle in this first-of-its-kind proceeding.
The Alien Terrorist Removal Court operates with a high degree of secrecy, and this case represents a significant development in its application. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
