A Mexican man who claims he was deported by the Trump administration has taunted officials after saying he was on his way to the border to allegedly sneak back into the US.
In the clip, the man can be seen in the rear of a vehicle driving on an arid stretch of desert highway that appears to be south of the border.
He claims in the video that a coyote, a people smuggler, is driving him back to the border. DailyMail.com has been unable to verify the authenticity of the clip.
A TikTok account, titled El Compa Kilo562, shared the video in February – following it up with other clip of the same man in Long Beach, California, in recent weeks.
In another clip the man can be heard saying: ‘Mr Trump, Mr Trump. Thank you for the deportation back to my country’.
A caption over the clip adds: ‘I got deported but it’s just a vacation, I’ll be back next week.’
The footage has surfaced on social media, with some users vowing to identify the man in the clip.
One person said: ‘Mexican taunts Trump – claims he was deported and then snuck back into the US a week alter. Let’s use the power of X to find him.’
Another added: ‘Thanks to him for proving why mass deportations are needed, as well as a border well.’
One other posted: ‘He bragged about breaking laws now let’s make sure he gets a one-way ride out for good.’
The clip reemerged after President Donald Trump demanded that all illegal migrants go home immediately to avoid turning America into a ‘bankrupt Third World Nation.’
The president doubled down in his support for ICE agents conducting the controversial raids as protestors take to the streets across the country.
He said in a post to his Truth Social: ‘All of them have to go home, as do countless other Illegals and Criminals, who will turn us into a bankrupt Third World Nation.
‘Our courageous ICE Officers, who are daily being subjected to doxxing and murder threats, are HEROES.’
According to a House Budget Committee report in late 2024, the border crisis costs American taxpayers at least ‘$150billion and counting.’
‘The lion’s share of that cost is borne by state and local governments,’ the committee found.
Trump described the work ICE agents are conducting as a ‘noble mission’ and vowed to ‘always have their back’ as they continue to track down and round up migrants.
‘America will be for Americans again,’ Trump vowed. ‘America was invaded and occupied. I am reversing the Invasion. It’s called Remigration.’
While Trump is still backing the work of his ICE agents, he presented a softened tone earlier on Thursday about migrants who have long term employment on farms.
He acknowledged that farmers ‘and people in the Hotel and Leisure businesses’ have been vocal in their criticism for his sweeping arrests.
‘Our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,’ he said.
Trump said at a press conference ‘our farmers are being hurt badly by, you know, they have very good workers, they have worked for them for 20 years.
‘They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be, you know, great. And we’re going to have to do something about that.
‘We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have maybe what they’re supposed to have, maybe not.’
Trump said he would be issuing a new order relating to that matter ‘soon’, vowing to use ‘common sense’ to protect industries which have become reliant on migrants.
Trump and ICE ramped up their searches for undocumented migrants, taking to workplaces across the nation suspected of employing illegal workers.
This set off the riots in LA stretched, sparking lockdown orders and the deployment of 700 Marines and 4,100 National Guard troops.
Rioters set fire to cars, looted buildings and attacked authorities as they railed against the arrests of their neighbors.
Protests have spread throughout the nation, popping up in New York, Texas, Arizona and Chicago as authorities’ resources are spread thin trying to maintain order.
And there are fears the worst is yet to come with 2,000 separate protests planned for Saturday.
Over one million people are expected to protest Trump’s military parade – which also happens to fall over the weekend of Trump’s 79th birthday.
DailyMail.com has approached the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for comment on the footage.
