A Haitian national who was in the U.S. illegally was deported to Haiti after making social media statements about not returning.

What we found

Supports. DHS states that ICE deported Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles, a Haitian illegal alien, back to Haiti on September 10 after his viral arrest video.[1]

Supports. Reporting on the deportation says Charles declared during his arrest that he would not be sent back to Haiti, and that the clip spread across social media.[2][3]

Supports. Fox News-sourced coverage describes Charles as having defiantly said "I'm not going back to Haiti" before being deported on an ICE flight.[4][5]

Context. The statements were captured on camera during the arrest by a news crew rather than posted by Charles himself, so "social media statements" is a loose characterization of the sequence.[2][5]
