The impact of US President Donald Trump’s stringent immigration policies is starting to unfold, with sources from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) confirming that a second flight carrying illegal Pakistani immigrants is set to arrive in the country next week.
Pakistani Embassy officials in the United States have confirmed that a special American aircraft will transport eight more undocumented Pakistani immigrants back to the homeland.
Among those being deported are Rehman, Saleem, Nawaz, Salman, Azeem, Khan, and Khalid Masih. Authorities revealed that only two of the eight deportees have a criminal record, while the remaining six Pakistani citizens were deported solely for illegal residency violations.
“Two individuals on the deportation list were found guilty of serious crimes, including rape and drug-related offences,” sources disclosed.
The deportees will be flown into the Nur Khan Airbase, Islamabad, on a special US aircraft, with FIA officials and security personnel ensuring a smooth reception and verification process upon arrival.
Additionally, authorities confirmed the recent deportation of 56-year-old Syed Rizvi, a Pakistani national who had been residing illegally in Dallas, Texas. He had entered the US in 2017 but was found to be in violation of immigration laws.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested him on January 31, and he was officially deported to Pakistan on February 25. Following his deportation, the FBI shared his photograph and details with Pakistani authorities for record-keeping.
An FIA official said: “We are closely monitoring all deportees to distinguish between those involved in criminal activities and those deported solely due to residency violations.”
Upon arrival, deportees will be screened for any pending legal cases in Pakistan, questioned regarding their stay and deportation reasons and assisted in their reintegration process if found innocent of criminal activities.
