美国外星人恐怖分子移除法院（ATRC）历史上首次投入实际运用，一名47岁的阿富汗籍合法永久居民纳齐拉·哈吉·扎达因涉嫌恐怖主义活动被遣返出境1。该法院由美国最高法院首席法官约翰·罗伯茨选定的五名联邦法官组成1，成立于1995年俄克拉荷马城爆炸案之后1。这一首次启用标志着自1996年以来估计450万人被遣返出美国的历史进程中的一个转折点1。
扎达被遣返一案因其运作方式引发对正当法律程序的宪法质疑。在该法庭的诉讼中，被告及其律师可能无法查看针对他们的证据，仅限于在法官法庭内部审阅1。美国国土安全部声称向扎达及其律师提供了"半TB的文件"1，但具体内容未被披露。扎达的律师向《华盛顿邮报》表示，"拒绝向合法永久居民及其律师出示将被用于对他们的证据，明显违反了正当法律程序"1。扎达在7月未经听证直接离开美国1，使得这一法庭的宪法问题未能通过司法程序得到测试。
美国司法部长托德·布兰奇称这是"具有里程碑意义的案件，标志着国家安全和法治的胜利"1。法律专家认为特朗普政府将此法庭视为其遣返工具箱中的新工具1。据报道，扎达之子与女婿因策划2024年选举日大规模枪击事件而被定罪1。
A secretive U.S. court created in the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing has been deployed for deportation for the first time in its history.1 Nazira Haji Zada, a 47-year-old Afghan-born legal permanent resident, was ordered removed from the country based on classified evidence presented in the Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC), a proceeding that allows the government to withhold information from defendants and their lawyers.1 The Trump administration's Justice Department hailed the action as a watershed moment, with Attorney General Todd Blanche stating that it represented "a milestone case marking a victory for national security and the rule of law."1
The ATRC comprises five federal judges selected by U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts.1 Under the court's procedures, defendants and their counsel may be unable to review evidence used against them, viewing materials only within the judge's chambers.1 Zada's attorney challenged this arrangement in correspondence to the Washington Post, arguing that "refusing to show evidence to a legal permanent resident and their counsel that will be used against them clearly violates due process."1 The Department of Homeland Security countered that it had provided Zada and her legal team with "half a terabyte of files," without specifying the contents.1 Zada left the United States in July without a hearing, preventing the court's constitutional questions from being tested.1 Legal experts view the case as indicative of how the Trump administration intends to leverage the ATRC as a new tool within its deportation apparatus.1
