The Alien Terrorist Removal Court Is Finally Holding Its First Hearing
Imagine building an entire secret court with special judges and classified rules, and then completely forgetting to use it for nearly three decades.
Back in 1996, Congress decided the Department of Justice needed a specialized tribunal to boot suspected foreign terrorists off American soil using secret evidence that the defense wasn't allowed to see.
So they officially created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, appointed real federal judges to man the bench, and then... absolutely nothing happened. For nearly thirty years, the court sat in total silence without hearing a single case.
Now, after three decades of collecting dust while bureaucracy quietly churned in the background, someone finally remembered to file a petition.
A federal institution sitting completely idle for thirty years just to handle one single case is peak government efficiency.
