Another flight that carries undocumented Pakistani immigrants deported from the United States is ready to arrive in Pakistan next week, sources said in the federal Investigation Agency (FIA) as Washington strikes stricter immigration policies under President Donald Trump.
The Pakistani Embassy in the United States confirmed that eight individuals, including Rehman, Saleem, Nawaz, Salman, Azeem, Khan and Khalid Masih, will be repatriated aboard a special American aircraft.
Of those deported, six are sent back exclusively to immigration violations, while two have criminal items.
“Two people on the deportation list were found guilty of serious crimes, including rape and drug-related offenses,” said a FIA source.
The aircraft will land at Noor Khan Airbase in Islamabad, where the FIA officials and security personnel will supervise the reception and verification process.
Separately, authorities confirmed the recent deportation of 56-year-old Syed Rizvi, a Pakistani citizen who had lived illegally in Dallas, Texas. Rizvi joined the United States in 2017, but was found in violation of immigration legislation.
FBI arrested him on January 31, and he was officially deported on February 25. US authorities provided his photograph and details to Pakistan for registration.
“We are closely monitoring all deported to distinguish between those involved in criminal activities and those who were deported exclusively due to violations of stay,” said a FIA official.
Upon arrival, deported is screened for any pending legal cases, questioning their stay in the United States and helped with reintegration if they are not involved in criminal activities.
