Majority of them belonged to Punjab. Emotional scenes were witnessed at the airport when they disembarked from the plane.The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) let them go to their homes after brief questioning sessions. FIA Immigration Cell Deputy Director Syed Kaleem Imam said that a list of 94 Pakistani deportees was given to the FIA, while 73 deportees had returned so far. The rest, he said, would soon follow. He said that a majority of the people who were deported were facing charges of overstaying their visas. The Immigration Cell deputy director said that some deportees had stayed in the US for at least 10 to 16 years. Mohammad Naveed, a deportee, said that he and seven other Pakistanis were arrested in Los Angles under new immigration laws. He said that US authorities had treated him “inhumanly” in jail.
