The Trump Justice Department deported an ISIS terrorist this Friday who planned to carry out an attack on Election Day in 2024. The 47-year-old Afghan citizen Nazira Haji Zada was planning the attack along with her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and her son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who were also arrested and convicted.
For the first time in history, it was the Foreign Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC) that issued a deportation order for Zada, who was living in Texas at the time of her arrest. This special court was created by Congress in 1996, and Trump becomes the first president to make use of it.
"From the moment President Trump took office, he made it clear that his administration would prioritize the safety of the American people," stated the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, regarding the case.
"The President's directive to use the Foreign Terrorist Removal Court to expel Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan citizen who conspired with family members to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack on U.S. soil, fulfills that promise," added the senior official.
