  • Joe Exotic’s Spouse Deported to Mexico Following His Release from Prison, Reports Say

    Joe Exotic’s Spouse Deported to Mexico Following His Release from Prison, Reports Say

    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.

  • Georgia College Student Detained by ICE After Making an Illegal Right Turn, Police Say

    Georgia College Student Detained by ICE After Making an Illegal Right Turn, Police Say

    A college student from Georgia, who has been in the U.S. since she was 4, has been taken into ICE custody and is now at risk of deportation, all due to a wrong turn, according to Huff Post.

    Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, a student at Dalton State College, was pulled over by police in Dalton on Monday for turning right despite a “no turn on red” sign, as detailed in a police report obtained by HuffPost. Arias-Cristobal informed the officers that she had an international driver’s license, but she did not have it on her at that time. As a result, the police arrested her for driving without a valid driver’s license and for making an illegal right turn on red.

    A representative from the Dalton Police Department explained to HuffPost that officers must arrest anyone driving without a license and do not have the discretion to overlook that violation. After her arrest, Arias-Cristobal was taken to Whitfield County Jail. Arias-Cristobal’s family shared with ABC affiliate WTCV that the young woman is currently being held at Stewart Detention Center alongside her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar.

    Arias-Tovar, was arrested two weeks ago for exceeding the speed limit by 19 miles. This facility is located near Columbus, Georgia. The outlet reported that Whitfield County has had a “jail enforcement model” agreement with ICE since June 2020. This allows ICE to identify and take custody of “removable” immigrants detained by state or local law enforcement.

    Arias-Tovar’s wife told the outlet that her husband has no criminal history, runs a construction business, and pays taxes.

  • SCOTUS Puts Pause on Deportation Controversy After U.S. Mistakenly Deported Maryland Man to El Salvador

    SCOTUS Puts Pause on Deportation Controversy After U.S. Mistakenly Deported Maryland Man to El Salvador

    Chief Justice John Roberts just hit the brakes—at least temporarily—on a legal injustice involving a Maryland man, Kilmar, according to ABC News, Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the U.S. government. The Supreme Court issued a last-minute administrative stay, delaying a court-ordered deadline to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. by Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. 

    The Trump administration had asked the Supreme Court to intervene after lower courts ordered the government to fix its error and bring Abrego Garcia back. This stay from Roberts doesn’t mean the court is siding with anyone—it just buys more time to figure things out.

    The government admits they deported Abrego Garcia by mistake. Despite having legal protections, he was detained by ICE, held in Texas, and then sent to El Salvador—where he ended up in one of the country’s most infamous mega-prisons. All of this happened while he was living in Maryland with his U.S. citizen wife and their five-year-old kid.

    Let’s rewind a bit: Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. in 2011 when he was 16, fleeing gang violence in El Salvador. His attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, says the gang claims are false and should be handled by an immigration judge—not ICE agents or presidential politics.

    The Supreme Court gave Abrego Garcia’s legal team until Tuesday at 5 p.m. to respond to the Trump administration’s arguments. No word yet on how the justices will ultimately rule, but all eyes are on them as the clock ticks.

  • Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    On Friday, a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction, ordering the government to ensure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, by Monday, according to ABC News.

    “I am going to grant the motion for preliminary injunction I’ve reviewed, and I’ll read this word for word, so that there is no dispute that the oral order is the written order,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis remarked during Friday’s hearing, referencing the recent court case involving the Alien Enemies Act, where the government did not comply with another judge’s verbal orders.

    “This was an illegal act,” Xinis said of Garcia’s deportation. “The two defendants are hereby ordered to facilitate the return of plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025.” Despite having protected legal status, Abrego Garcia was sent to the infamous CECOT mega-prison in El Salvador due to what the government described as an “administrative error.”

    While the government has admitted to the mistake, it previously stated in court documents that since Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody, the court cannot mandate his return to the U.S. or compel El Salvador to send him back. Last month, Abrego Garcia, whose wife is a U.S. citizen and has a 5-year-old child, was approached by ICE officers who informed him that his immigration status had changed, according to his attorneys. 

    He was detained and subsequently moved to a detention center in Texas before being sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador on March 15, along with over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members.

  • Transgender Sex Worker Living in Australia Infected Client with HIV, Now Fighting to Stay in the Country

    Transgender Sex Worker Living in Australia Infected Client with HIV, Now Fighting to Stay in the Country

    A transgender sex worker living in Australia was arrested for infecting a client with HIV. She is now fighting to re-enter the country after being deported back to her home country of New Zealand, NY Post reported. 

    CJ Palmer, who has been living in Australia since 2006 on a visa, reportedly worked as a sex worker in the country. According to Ms. Palmer’s legal counsel, she was diagnosed with HIV and had been taking medication since 2016. However, she failed to inform her client about her diagnosis who later found out he contracted the virus after their encounter. 

    In 2018, Palmer was convicted in the Western Australia District Court on one count of grievous bodily harm, reports state. She was sentenced to six years in prison which was lowered to four years on appeal, the NY Post reported. After completing her sentence Palmer was deported to New Zealand following a decision from the Minister to discontinue her visa.

    Lawyers of Palmer’s from the HIV/Aids Legal Centre are now trying to overturn the decision.

    “The evidence before the (immigration) minister was quite clear in my respectful submission, and it was the Ms. Palmer had consistently taken her medication since 2016,”

    Mr. Kaplan said in a statement.

    “The evidence established that HIV cannot be transmitted from A to B, if A has an undetectable viral load as Palmer did,”

    he continued. 

    According to the outlet, Palmer previously told the court that she wanted to remain in Australia to keep her

    “connections to communities including people with HIV, transgender people, and sex workers.”

    The hearing has been postponed.
