Arrest Draws National Attention
A Texas entrepreneur who built a small chain of Trump-themed burger restaurants is now battling to remain in the United States. Immigration officials say Roland Mehrez Beainy, 28, overstayed his visa and must face removal proceedings. His arrest happened only weeks before the planned opening of his fourth Trump Burger location in Houston.
ICE Defends Enforcement
Immigration and Customs Enforcement explained that Beainy has “no immigration benefits” that would prevent removal. The agency stressed that it applies the law to everyone, “regardless of what restaurant you own [or] political beliefs you might have.”
A Growing Burger Brand
Beainy’s first Trump Burger opened in Bellville, Texas, and quickly became a magnet for customers. Many traveled over an hour just to order burgers served on buns stamped with the former president’s name. The chain’s décor features slogans like “Trump Was Right About Everything,” making it a gathering spot for local conservatives.
Personal Background
According to a 2022 profile, Beainy was born in the U.S. but moved to Lebanon as a child. He later returned to the States in 2019. Since then, he expanded his burger brand and earned a loyal customer base.
Political and Economic Debate
The arrest has sparked a debate among Trump supporters and critics alike. Some believe strict immigration enforcement should apply equally, even to business owners who back the president. Others argue that removing someone who creates jobs and supports the administration’s agenda risks alienating parts of Trump’s base.
What Happens Next
Beainy remains in custody without bond. His fate now rests with immigration courts, while his restaurants continue to serve customers under the uncertainty of his legal battle. The outcome could become a talking point in broader discussions about immigration policy, loyalty, and the economy.
