Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old Afghan permanent resident living in Fort Worth, Texas, was deported to Afghanistan after proceedings before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, which was created in 1996 but had never been used until her case. The Justice Department alleged she supported her son and son-in-law's plot to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass shooting on Election Day 2024; both men were convicted on terrorism-related charges.
