## Deported to Haiti
DHS confirmed Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported to Haiti on an ICE flight that originated in Louisiana after 19 months in federal custody.
## Combative on flight
Sources told Fox News Charles was combative aboard the aircraft and made profane, threatening remarks about President Trump and his family during removal.
## A viral arrest
The case traced back to Jan. 22, 2025, when ICE officers arrested Charles in Massachusetts and Fox News cameras recorded his defiant comments.

> I’m not going back to Haiti
## Gang ties alleged
DHS identified Charles as a Back Block Money Gang member and said he had 17 criminal convictions, including assault, drug, weapons and trespassing offenses.
## Removal order issued
Charles stayed in federal custody while his case moved forward. DHS said an immigration judge issued a final removal order on Nov. 7, 2025.
## DHS claims credit
DHS announced the deportation after Fox News obtained removal details, tying the case to the viral video and the Trump administration's enforcement push.

> if you’re here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and remove you
## TPS history cited
DHS said Charles received Temporary Protected Status in 2013, entered the U.S. that July, and had that status terminated by USCIS in July 2022.
## Prediction reversed
More than a year and a half after saying he would not return to Haiti, Charles was removed there by ICE, DHS said.

> Biden forever bro.
## Key takeaway

Charles' deportation capped a long immigration case that began with a viral arrest and ended with removal to Haiti.
