Pakistan begins deporting unauthorized Afghans in large numbers.

On the first day of a statewide sweep, authorities go “door to door” to pick up and return thousands of people, many of whom escaped from the Taliban.

A government minister said that Pakistan has started detaining and expelling Afghan refugees who failed to go by the deadline on Wednesday morning. At least 200,000 individuals have already willingly returned to Afghanistan, according to Sarfraz Bugti, Pakistan’s interim interior minister. About two million Afghans are believed to be in Pakistan without proper identification, and as part of Pakistan’s new anti-immigrant stance, the country is cracking down on unregistered immigrants. “There will be no compromise against illegal refugees,” declared Bugti. We possess information regarding individuals who are residing in Pakistan without authorization. We have installed geofencing and are knocking on doors. We’ll imprison and expulse them. Thus far, we have made scores of arrests across the nation, including in the capital. Afghans would be loaded onto vehicles such as buses, trucks, or other
