DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin oversaw multiple deportation flights out of Phoenix, Arizona, that sent Mexican nationals back to Mexico. Among those deported was Jaime Velasquez Orozco, who entered the U.S. without authorization and received a final removal order from an immigration judge on October 6, 2026 after prior criminal convictions. Jiovany Baray-Acosta, who was previously deported in 2016 and unlawfully reentered the country in 2021, had his prior removal order reinstated on October 9, 2026. Noe Ochoa Torres, who was lawfully admitted to the U.S. in 1990, was deported in 2001 and later reentered without authorization before being deported again; all three have prior criminal convictions.
