( CNN ) -- A federal court sentenced a Pakistani citizen to more than four years for providing false documentation and attempting to smuggle a person he thought was a Taliban member into the United States . Irfan Ul Haq , 37 , was sentenced Thursday to 50 months in prison . His sentence is part of an agreement to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan , also known as the Pakistani Taliban , the U.S. Attorney 's Office said in a statement . Ul Haq and two others -- Qasim Ali , 32 , and Zahid Yousaf , 43 , -- pleaded guilty in September . Ali and Yousaf were sentenced in December to 40 months and 36 months , respectively . As part of their plea deals , the three agreed to be deported after their sentences , the statement said . `` Today 's sentence successfully brings to a close our prosecution of three criminals who aimed to use their human smuggling network to help a person who they believed to be a terrorist infiltrate our homeland , '' said U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. `` By convicting three Pakistani nationals who were operating out of Ecuador , we have demonstrated our ability to dismantle human smuggling operations throughout the world when they threaten our national security . '' The three men were arrested in Miami last year in a federal sting operation . According to court documents , the three men were living in Quito , Ecuador , when they were contacted by federal informants who claimed they wanted to sneak a member of the Taliban into the United States . The Pakistani Taliban is designated a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department . According to the court documents , the three agreed to move the person from Pakistan to the United States . Ul Haq told the federal informants it was not his concern what the purported member of the Taliban wanted to do in the United States , saying if they want to do `` hard labor , sweep floors , wash dishes in a hotel , or blow up . That will be up to them , '' the documents said . The three were arrested after accepting payment and procuring a fake Pakistani passport for the fictitious Taliban member , the court documents said .
