Second flight carrying illegal immigrants to reach Pakistan next week

ISLAMABAD: The consequences of US President Donald Trump's strict immigration policies are becoming increasingly evident, as sources within the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) confirm that a second flight carrying undocumented Pakistani immigrants is scheduled to arrive next week.

Officials from the Pakistani Embassy in the United States have verified that a special American aircraft will transport eight more undocumented Pakistani nationals back to the country.

Among the deportees are Rehman, Saleem, Nawaz, Salman, Azeem, Khan, and Khalid Masih. Authorities have disclosed that while two of them have criminal records, the remaining six were deported solely for violating immigration laws.

"Two individuals on the deportation list were convicted of serious crimes, including rape and drug-related offenses," sources revealed.

The deportees will be flown into Nur Khan Airbase, Islamabad, aboard a special US aircraft, where FIA officials and security personnel will oversee their reception and verification process.

Additionally, authorities confirmed the recent deportation of 56-year-old Syed Rizvi, a Pakistani national who had been living illegally in Dallas, Texas. Rizvi 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 personal details with Pakistani authorities for record-keeping.

An FIA official stated, "We are closely monitoring all deportees to distinguish between those involved in criminal activities and those removed solely for residency violations."

Upon arrival, deportees will be screened for any pending legal cases in Pakistan, questioned about their stay in the US and the reasons for their deportation, and provided assistance for reintegration if no criminal activity is found.
