The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) have started a third round of arrests of Pakistanis. In the last four weeks 12 Pakistanis have been picked up from their homes in early morning raids. Of those arrested, many have been issued deportation orders.

On April 19, Naeem Sheikh, a limousine driver, was stopped in Manhattan by the police. They checked his immigration status on a computer in the police vehicle and arrested him for being in violation of a deportation order issued in Chicago in 1989. Naeem Sheikh said that he came to America in 1990 and has never visited Chicago. He is now in Hudson County Jail, still awaiting a decision after three weeks. Naeem's brother, visiting from Pakistan, is now looking after his family.

On May 1, a beauty parlor on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn was raided. Though the person the authorities were looking for, a former tenant, had left the building sometime ago agents persisted in checking the immigration papers of everyone in the building.

In raids in Staten Island, Nadir Malik, Aslam Khan, Shahid Butt, and Khwaja have been arrested.
