ICE Dallas removes Pakistani national identified as a national security priority

DALLAS – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Dallas removed an illegally present Pakistani national identified as a national security priority to his home country Feb 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.     

“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. “Our most important priority is to arrest and remove those who pose an imminent danger to the citizens of the U.S.” 

Rizvi was residing in Dallas, Texas without authorization prior to his removal.

ERO Dallas arrested Rizvi Jan. 31, following a routine traffic stop.  He was ordered removed by an immigration judge Jan. 24.

Rizvi entered the United States legally Sep.20, 2017 near the New York port of entry and he violated the terms of his admission.
