The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking to deport an Afghan alien after filing the first-ever case in a decades-old Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC), according to a Thursday press release.
Her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and her son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, were previously convicted for their roles in the ISIS-inspired plot, the press release added.
Nazira Haji Zada was arrested in late July and stood before the ATRC’s Chief Judge Joan N. Ericksen in Washington, D.C., Thursday.
