Owner of Trump-themed burger chain arrested by ICE, facing deportation
Roland Beainy faces deportation amid claims of marriage fraud and visa overstay, with his green card revoked and bond granted by an immigration judge, officials said.
- Roland Mehrez Beainy, a 28-year-old Lebanese citizen and part-owner of the Trump Burger restaurant in Texas, was detained by ICE on May 16, 2025, in Houston and subsequently placed into immigration proceedings.
- Beainy, who came to the U.S. from Lebanon in 2019 on a temporary visitor status, did not leave the country by the mandated deadline of February 12, 2024, which resulted in his arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.
- USCIS revoked Beainy's immigration petition after evidence revealed his marriage was fraudulent, and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed it is investigating allegations of immigration fraud against him.
- An immigration judge granted Beainy bond on June 13, 2025, while his pending November 18 hearing in Houston addresses his overstayed visa and suspected fraud; DHS stated it has “zero tolerance for immigration fraud.”
- Beainy's case highlights ICE’s commitment to enforce immigration laws impartially, holding all individuals accountable regardless of business ownership or political connections, and the Trump Burger chain is not endorsed by the Trump Organization.
