The co-owner of the Trump Burger restaurant chain in Texas faces potential deportation from the United States after allegedly making inaccurate statements on an immigration application.
Roland Beainy, one of the owners of the local burger chain named after President Donald Trump, was notified that he will have his green card revoked over suspected marriage fraud, while embroiled in lawsuits over the company.
On Wednesday, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek that Beainy was under investigation and said the government does not tolerate immigration fraud.
Then on Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) gave Newsweek new details, stating that Beainy was not a green card holder, but instead an illegal immigrant having overstayed his initial visa.
"Despite false claims to the contrary, Roland Mehrez Beainy does not have any immigration benefits that prevented his arrest or removal from the United States," an ICE spokesperson said.
Newsweek reached out to Trump Burger Tuesday afternoon, with Beainy responding but deferring to his attorney, who is yet to respond with comment.
Beainy, 28, jointly runs the pro-Trump chain, with four locations in Texas, in support of Trump, who has made it clear that his administration will continue to take a tough stance on immigration enforcement, including the revocation of permanent residency from those who are seen to have committed crimes.
