    The Trump administration has activated a secretive and
    never-before-used legal process
    to quickly deport foreign nationals deemed to be “alien terrorists”
    or their immediate family members.

    The Justice Department submitted the first-ever application to the Alien Terrorist Removal Court
    — which has lain dormant since it was established by law in 1996
    — with little notice earlier this week.

    The details of the July 15 application are sealed and an accompanying cover sheet indicates that the substance is classified.

    Created by Congress in 1996,
    the Alien Terrorist Removal Court,
    has five federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice,
    “to review applications for the removal from the United States of alien terrorists.”

    The attorney general submits applications for removal to the court under seal.

    According to the Federal Judicial Center, it has never received an application since its founding.
    -- Until this week.

    According to a court order posted on the newly-created Alien Terrorist Removal Court website,
    on July 15 the Attorney General submitted the court’s first application.

    On July 16, the court had a hearing with the government regarding the submission,
    the contents of the order have not been previously reported.

    Writing in the order, Judge Ericksen notes that
    “..the Court could benefit from the opportunity for more thoughtful consideration.”

    The court has requested more information on the sealed application.

    DOJ has until July 22nd to do so.
    This is a developing story.
