If someone decides to run your deportation or criminal history, then, yes, the fact that you were deported could show up. That doesn't mean it will-- it's only if someone bothers to look. However, if you don't go to court and a warrant is issued for your arrest, then the authorities will definitely know that you have re-entered illegally. After your arrest, another immigration hold will probably be placed on you, and you would again be subject to deportation.
