Pakistan’s ambassador deported from US
Pakistan’s Ambassador to Turkmenistan, KK Ahsan Wagan, was denied entry into the United States and sent back from Los Angeles airport, despite having a valid visa and travel documents.
The incident has raised questions about US immigration policies and their treatment of foreign diplomats.
Wagan was reportedly on a personal trip when US immigration officials stopped him at the airport. After reviewing his documents, they refused to let him enter the country.
He was then put on a flight back to his departure point.
According to reports, the US immigration system flagged “controversial visa references” linked to Wagan, although American authorities have not publicly explained the reason for his deportation.
A Pakistani Foreign Ministry official confirmed the situation, saying, “Ambassador KK Wagan was deported from the US. He had an immigration objection which led to his deportation.”
The government in Islamabad is now looking into the matter, and the Foreign Ministry has asked its Los Angeles consulate to investigate. Officials are also considering recalling Wagan to Pakistan for further questioning.
Wagan is a senior diplomat with years of experience in Pakistan’s foreign service. Before being posted in Turkmenistan, he worked at the country’s embassy in Nepal and later held a key position at the Los Angeles consulate.
The incident comes shortly after reports that the US government, under President Donald Trump, is planning new travel restrictions on Pakistan.
If these measures are implemented, they could make it harder for Pakistani citizens to enter the US.
