"Secret Deportation Court: How the US Uses Classified Evidence to Remove Immigrants. In a little-known corner of the US justice system, a specialized court has been quietly operating for over two decades, allowing the government to deport immigrants using evidence that's often hidden from public view. The Alien Terrorist Removal Court, established in 1996, was designed to streamline the process of removing individuals deemed a threat to national security, but critics argue it has become a vehicle for deporting people without due process. As concerns about immigration and national security continue to dominate the national conversation, the workings of this secretive court are raising questions about the balance between safety and individual rights."
Congress created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court in 1996 to make it easier for the Justice Department to use classified evidence to deport people from U.S. soil.
