Overview

• Jorge Marquez Flores, Joe Exotic's husband, was deported to Mexico by ICE shortly after his release from a Texas prison on Friday.
• The couple had married in April 2025 while both were incarcerated, with Exotic hoping their union might aid Flores' immigration status.
• Flores had been serving time for illegally reentering the U.S. and transporting undocumented immigrants before his deportation hearing.
• Joe Exotic, serving a 21-year sentence for a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin, has renewed public pleas to President Trump for a pardon.
• Exotic has offered to leave the U.S. permanently to live with Flores in Mexico if granted clemency.
