Pakistan's Final Deadline: Undocumented Immigrants Must Depart by November 1

Pakistan's caretaker interior minister has issued a final warning to all undocumented immigrants, including Afghan nationals, to leave the country voluntarily before the November 1 deadline. The move comes after Afghan nationals were found to be involved in crimes, smuggling, and attacks against the government and army. Law enforcement agencies will begin an operation to remove individuals after the deadline, and action will be taken against those facilitating or hiding immigrants. Temporary centers will be set up to process those leaving voluntarily, with assistance provided for their departure. Pakistan has received a large influx of Afghan refugees over the years, and this expulsion plan further strains relations between the two neighboring countries.
