The Justice Department wants to convince a federal judge to deport an Afghan woman who prosecutors allege is tied to an Isis-sympathizing family. 

The DOJ is pushing the case through a special court that was created under Democratic President Bill Clinton three decades ago but has never been used before, according to CBS News. 

Nazira Haji Zada, 47, of Fort Worth, Texas, will appear Monday morning before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court in Washington, D.C., where the DOJ will present its case that she should be removed from the U.S. 

The court was created by Congress in 1996 and signed into law by Democratic President Bill Clinton, but it has never been used before. Its purpose is to deport noncitizens who can't be removed through the traditional legal process because information about their cases is classified for national security reasons. 

Zada has never been publicly charged with any crimes of terrorism and has no known criminal history, according to the DOJ filings. Last year, her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and her son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, pleaded guilty in a federal court in Oklahoma to purchasing two rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition from an undercover FBI agent. The two men were allegedly plotting to target the 2024 election in support of the Islamic State. 

The DOJ alleges that Zada supported the men's conspiracy, pledged loyalty to ISIS and indoctrinated her children with ISIS ideology. The allegations were based on information the DOJ says is a reliable source. 

Proceedings through the Alien Terrorist Removal Court don't permit suspects to review the classified information against them, and they aren't allowed to legally challenge how the evidence was collected. Applications for removal must be certified by the attorney general and are reviewed by the court ex parte and in camera. That means the defendant in the court proceeding is not a party to the hearing.
