U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Dallas removed an illegally present Pakistani national identified as a national security priority to his home country on February 25.
Syed Rizvi, 56, a Pakistani national, was ordered removed from the U.S. after being identified by U.S. intelligence sources as a national security priority, designated as removable per the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Rizvi was residing in Dallas, Texas, without authorization prior to his removal.
ERO Dallas arrested Rizvion on January 31 following a routine traffic stop. He was ordered removed by an immigration judge on January 24.
Rizvi entered the United States legally on September 20, 2017, near the New York port of entry, and he violated the terms of his admission.
“Illegal aliens suspected or known to have ties to organizations that threaten public safety will not find refuge in the U.S.,” said Enforcement and Removals Operations Dallas Field Office acting Director Josh Johnson.
Johnson added, “Our most important priority is to arrest and remove those who pose an imminent danger to the citizens of the U.S.”
