US deports a Pakistani national due to security concerns.

On February 25, a Pakistani national who was designated as a national security priority was sent back to his homeland by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Dallas.

After being identified as a national security threat by US intelligence, Syed Rizvi, 56, was ordered to leave the country, according to an official statement. The Immigration and Nationality Act was used to carry out his expulsion.

“Illegal aliens suspected or known to have ties to organizations that threaten public safety will not find refuge in the US,” said Josh Johnson, acting director of Enforcement and Removals Operations (ERO) Dallas Field Office. “Arresting and expelling those who represent an immediate threat to US people is our top priority.

Rizvi was living in Dallas, Texas, without permission before he was removed. On January 31, he was apprehended during a regular traffic check and hauled into custody by the ERO Dallas. On January 24, an immigration judge issued an order for his deportation. Rizvi allegedly “violated the terms of his admission” after entering the country lawfully at the port of entry in New York on September 20, 2017, according to the records.

Hundreds of people have been deported to their home countries as a result of the US government’s stepped-up crackdown on illegal immigrants since Donald Trump took office. The United States deported 119 foreigners, including Pakistanis, to Panama last month.

A new travel restriction that might exclude nationals of Pakistan and Afghanistan from entering the US was scheduled to be implemented by President Donald Trump. Three people with knowledge of the situation said that this new limitation will go into force as early as next week. The sources were unable to identify which additional countries would be affected by the decision, which is based on a continuous government examination of security and vetting issues.
