A federal judge holds the first public hearing in a case that is restarting proceedings from a long-dormant U.S. court as the United States seeks to deport an Afghan woman, according to reports. The Independent and the Winnipeg Free Press say the woman is the first person facing deportation under the Trump administration’s move to activate the Washington-based court. The judge refuses to dismiss the case, allowing it to proceed publicly rather than ending it at an early stage. While details of the woman’s background and the specific legal basis for her deportation are not described in the provided summaries, both outlets characterize the hearing as a key procedural step: the court is beginning its resumed operations with an individual deportation matter before later cases. The reports describe the judge’s decision to keep the case alive as central to the hearing’s significance, because it confirms that the activated court will be able to consider the government’s request for removal rather than dismiss it outright. The case proceeds following the court’s first public hearing after its prolonged inactivity.
