WEB DESK: The United States denied entry to Pakistan’s ambassador to Turkmenistan, KK Ahsan Wagan, and deported him from Los Angeles, diplomatic sources confirmed.
“Ambassador KK Wagan was deported from US; he had an immigration objection which led to his deportation,” a senior Foreign Ministry official confirmed.
Ambassador Wagan, who holds a valid US visa and all necessary travel documents, was reportedly travelling to Los Angeles for a personal visit when he was stopped by US immigration authorities upon arrival, sources said.
The officials then forced him to return to his last port of departure, raising concerns about diplomatic protocol and the nature of the decision.
According to diplomatic sources, the US immigration system flagged Wagan over “controversial visa references,” leading to his immediate deportation. It remains unclear what specific concerns triggered this response from American authorities.
Given the seriousness of the situation, Ambassador Wagan is also likely to be called back to Islamabad to explain his position, sources added.
