US Deports Eight More Pakistanis Amid Strict Immigration Rules

A second flight carrying undocumented Pakistani immigrants deported from the United States will arrive in Pakistan next week, according to sources in the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The Pakistani Embassy in the US confirmed that eight individuals, including Rehman, Saleem, Nawaz, Salman, Azeem, Khan and Khalid Masih, will be repatriated aboard a special American aircraft.

Among the deportees, six are being sent back for immigration violations, while two have criminal records. An FIA source stated, “Two individuals on the deportation list were found guilty of serious crimes, including rape and drug-related offences.” The aircraft will land at Noor Khan Airbase in Islamabad, where FIA officials and security personnel will handle the reception and verification process.

Authorities also confirmed the recent deportation of 56-year-old Syed Rizvi, a Pakistani national who had been residing illegally in Dallas, Texas. Rizvi entered the US in 2017 but violated immigration laws. The FBI arrested him on 31 January and he was officially deported on 25 February. US authorities provided his photograph and details to Pakistan 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, the deportees will undergo legal screening, be questioned about their stay in the US and receive assistance for reintegration if they have no criminal background.
