Viral ICE Detainee Deported to Haiti

​From Defiant Outburst to Final Removal

​Nearly 19 months after achieving internet notoriety for a profanity-laden outburst during a federal immigration raid, Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles has been deported to Haiti. Charles, identified by federal authorities as a member of the Back Block Money Gang, was removed from the United States on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) charter flight departing from Louisiana.

​The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that the removal closes a high-profile chapter that began on January 22, 2025. Just days into the second administration of President Donald Trump, Fox News cameras captured Charles being taken into custody by ICE agents in Massachusetts. Staring down the camera lens, he shouted, “I’m not going back to Haiti… you feel me? Fuck Trump. Biden forever bro.”

​A Long Criminal History and Legal Battle

​Federal documentation reveals that Charles’ path to deportation followed a prolonged administrative and judicial process:

• ​Arrival and TPS: Charles initially entered the United States lawfully in Miami in July 2013, securing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under the Obama administration.

• ​Revocation: United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) terminated his TPS status in July 2022.
• ​Criminal Record: DHS records show Charles accumulated 17 criminal convictions across Massachusetts, with offenses ranging from drug possession and distribution to weapons charges, resisting arrest, and assault and battery against a public employee.

• ​Final Order: Following a series of local legal battles—including a 2023 release from a Massachusetts correctional facility where a local detainer was not honored—a Department of Justice immigration judge issued a final order of removal on November 7, 2025.

​A Contentious Departure

​According to internal sources cited by law enforcement, Charles remained combative throughout his final processing. Sources reported that he directed verbal threats and profanity toward executive leadership during the transcontinental transfer.

​DHS officials heralded the final removal as a definitive counterpoint to his initial defiance, underscoring the administration’s broader push to execute final removal orders for undocumented individuals with extensive criminal histories.
