First Use of 1996 Special Court Deports Afghan LPR from US

A legal permanent resident from Afghanistan was deported from the US in the first-ever use of a special court established in 1996 for terrorism-related deportation cases involving classified evidence. The court's activation marks a significant procedural precedent, though details of the evidence remain classified. This could signal a new avenue for expedited removals of non-citizens on national security grounds.
