Pakistani Diplomat Denied Entry and Deported by U.S. Over Visa Concerns

Ambassador KK Wagan, on a private visit to Los Angeles, was deported after U.S. immigration flagged 'controversial visa references.'

  • Ambassador KK Wagan, Pakistan's envoy to Turkmenistan, was stopped by U.S. immigration authorities upon arrival in Los Angeles and deported due to 'immigration objections.'
  • The U.S. reportedly flagged 'controversial visa references,' but specific details regarding the concerns remain unclear.
  • Wagan was traveling on a private visit with a valid U.S. visa, prompting questions about diplomatic protocol and the nature of the decision.
