Joe Exotic, famously known as “The Tiger King,” is back in the news following reports that his husband was deported to Mexico shortly after his release from prison, as reported by TMZ.

A representative for Joe confirmed to the outlet that Jorge Marquez Flores, 33, was deported to Mexico on Friday after being freed from a Texas prison. Just a day prior, the “Tiger King” star had shared on social media that Jorge was taken to an ICE Detention Center for a hearing regarding his status in the U.S. Ultimately, he was sent back to Mexico just hours later, according to sources.

Joe and Jorge got engaged in October 2024 and later tied the knot in April while still incarcerated. Jorge was serving a sentence for immigration-related offenses, while Joe is facing a 21-year prison term for his role in a murder-for-hire scheme aimed at his former co-star Carole Baskin. Previously, Joe had mentioned that he and Jorge intended to leave the United States once they were released from prison.
