Pakistan has begun expelling undocumented immigrants, including Afghan refugees, as part of a nationwide crackdown on foreign nationals who are in the country illegally. The policy of deporting all undocumented foreigners will have widespread repercussions. Since mid-2021, nearly 90,000 Afghan refugees have arrived in the United States through Operation Allies Welcome. Following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover, Afghans sought refuge in Pakistan but are now being deported. Afghan women are among the 1.7 million illegal Afghan migrants that Pakistan has decided to expel after a series of terror attacks involving Afghan perpetrators.
