A national court is set to hear the case of an Afghan woman accused of having ISIS sympathies. The woman, Nazira Haji Zada, is the mother of a convicted terrorist who was involved in an ISIS-aligned plot targeting the 2024 Election.
Case Details
The Justice Department has accused Zada of working to indoctrinate her children with ISIS ideology and having them pledge loyalty to the terrorist organization. The court documents reveal that Zada has no criminal history, but the DOJ has described her as having ISIS sympathies.
The Alien Terrorist Removal Court, which has lain dormant since its creation 30 years ago, will have its first-ever hearing on Thursday. The court is made up of five US district court judges, and its chief judge, Joan Ericksen, is reviewing the current case.
The hearing will be public, but many details about the DOJ’s case will be withheld from public view and even from the woman targeted in the proceedings. This has prompted some legal observers to question the court’s constitutionality.
