The Haitian illegal alien gang member who became a national spectacle last year, cursing President Donald Trump into a Fox News camera while praising Joe Biden and Barack Obama, is no longer on American soil.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, also identified in the new federal briefing as Wisteguens Jean Quely Chargles, was removed to Haiti on Thursday, roughly 19 months after ICE grabbed him in East Boston.
He told the cameras he was never going back. He went back anyway.
On January 22, 2025, days after President Trump returned to the White House, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston took Charles into custody during a targeted operation in the sanctuary city of Boston. A Fox News crew embedded with the agents captured the moment.
As officers loaded him up, the 25-year-old Haitian national shouted that he was “not going back to Haiti,” then unloaded on the new president: “F**k Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!”
“He’s going back.”

TGP also reported on then-Border Czar Tom Homan’s response after Charles declared that he would not be deported. Homan replied, “Well, he’s wrong, he’s going back to Haiti,” as reported in a follow-up article.
Well, guess what, he’s back in Haiti.
According to Bill Melugin:
DHS confirms to Fox News that Wisteguens Jean Quely Chargles was finally deported back to his home country on Thursday, 19 months after his arrest. I’m told he was combative on the plane, which originated in Louisiana, and he made profane, threatening remarks about President Trump and his family while on board.
Per DHS, he had 17+ criminal convictions in just a two-year span in the state of Massachusetts. He was initially admitted to the US in 2013 during the Obama administration and was granted TPS. His TPS was later revoked in 2022. We witnessed him being arrested by ICE in the sanctuary city of Boston on 1/22/2025, just days into the Trump 2.0 administration.
As for why it took so long? I’m told by federal sources that he exhausted every single potential legal option to try to remain in the country and has had a final deportation order since November of last year.
WHITE HOUSE statement to FOX:
“This gang member and criminal illegal alien loved Obama, Biden, and open-border Democrats who let him enter our country with TPS and allowed him to terrorize American citizens. Thanks to the Trump administration, he is now off our streets and back in Haiti.“
DHS statement to FOX:
“This illegal alien gang member from Haiti had quite the rap sheet, with convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, and drug trafficking, among other heinous crimes,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “He went viral for praising Biden as he was getting arrested, because he knew that the Biden Administration’s open borders turned America into a paradise for criminals like him. The Trump Administration has finally done what both the Obama and Biden Administrations failed to do and deported this criminal back where he belongs.“
EXCLUSIVE: Remember the Haitian illegal alien gang member who vent viral to our cameras for yelling “F**k Trump, Biden forever!” & “I’m not going back to Haiti!” during his ICE arrest in Boston last year?
Well, he has, in fact, gone back to Haiti.
