NYT: US immigration policy has been leaked, more than 150 thousand people are mentioned!

According to The New York Times, unnamed US officials claimed that many immigrants were planned to be deported to Afghanistan by the US government.

Officials claimed that more than 150 Afghan immigrants were planned to be sent to Pakistan first and that the deportation process to the Afghan border would be supervised by Pakistan.

Authorities also stated that the first deportation flight in this regard is expected to be made on November 2.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "does not comment on planned deportation operations, including flight schedules, passenger lists, destinations, or individual case details."

Spokespeople for Pakistan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs did not respond to requests for comment.

Afghan government officials also did not respond to requests for comment.

U.S. law prohibits the government from deporting people to countries where courts have ruled that people are likely to face “persecution.”
