Pakistan launches crackdown on illegal immigration, echoing US debate amid terror concerns
Fox News
Pakistan authorities are launching raids against illegal immigrants as part of a crackdown that targets mostly Afghans after warning last month of deportations.
Authorities have cited crimes, including smuggling and militant attacks like suicide bombings, as justification for the deportation push. Reuters reported on government estimates that Afghan nationals were involved in 14 of this year’s 24 suicide bombings. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The country’s government said all illegal immigrants should have left by Nov. 1 or face arrest and has begun deporting and detaining illegal immigrants. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
