The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

A federal judge in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court refused to dismiss the court’s first-ever case, allowing the Justice Department’s bid to deport Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old Afghan permanent resident in Fort Worth, Texas, to proceed. Congress created the court in 1996 to handle removal cases involving noncitizens accused of terrorist activity, but it had never been used. Prosecutors say Haji Zada supported an ISIS-inspired Election Day 2024 mass-shooting plot involving her son and son-in-law; she has not been criminally charged.
