The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) confirmed on March 9, 2025, that a second flight carrying eight undocumented Pakistani immigrants will arrive at Nur Khan Airbase in Islamabad next week.
The move underscores U.S. President Donald Trump’s tough immigration stance, spotlighting the Pakistan Deportation Flight as a stark outcome. The Pakistani Embassy in the U.S. named the deportees: Rehman, Saleem, Nawaz, Salman, Azeem, Khan, and Khalid Masih.
Only two of the eight convicted of rape and drug crimes—face criminal charges; the other six are booted for illegal residency alone. “We’re sorting criminals from violators,” an FIA official said.
