.@AGToddBlanche today on the first-ever removal of an alien terrorist using the Alien Terrorist Removal Court: "This is a law that’s been on the books for a very long time and never been used. What it allows the Justice Department to do is work with the intelligence community and present evidence to a court that we have an alien terrorist living here...This was the first time we’ve done this. I promise you were going to do it more often."

The Justice Department has announced the first-ever removal of an alien terrorist utilizing the Alien Terrorist Removal Court. This action marks the initial use of a long-standing law, and the department intends to conduct such removals more frequently.
