Trump-linked burger restaurant owner confronts potential removal by ICE
Roland Beainy, the owner of Trump Burger restaurants, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on May 16, 2025, for overstaying his visa and facing deportation proceedings. The arrest was primarily due to Beainy entering the U.S. in 2019 as a non-immigrant and remaining past his authorized stay, which was set to expire in February 2024.
ICE stated that enforcement applies regardless of Beainy's restaurant business or political beliefs, emphasizing the priority on upholding immigration laws. The owner is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for alleged immigration fraud. DHS claims that Beainy applied for legal status through a purported marriage that was a sham intended to manipulate the immigration system.
Evidence, including statements from family, suggested Beainy did not live with the woman he claimed to be married to, leading USCIS to revoke the petition associated with the marriage. DHS also noted Beainy has no Green Card, a history of illegal marriages, and an assault charge, all of which factored into the active pursuit of legal action against him for immigration law violations.
Beainy was granted bond in June 2025 and is currently awaiting further hearings. The Trump administration has made restricting entry to the U.S. and deporting people who are in the country illegally a top priority since President Trump took office in January. However, the article does not provide any information about the response or reaction of the public or government entities to Trump's call for a citizens-only census.
Meanwhile, Trump Burger restaurants have been in the spotlight, not because of their connection to the Trump administration, but due to their unique theme. President Trump is described as a fast-food loving world leader in the context of the Trump Burger restaurants. The chain's four operations, which use President Trump's likeness, have no known ties to President Donald Trump or The Trump Organization.
The article does not provide any information about the impact of the call for a citizens-only census on the immigration system or the immigration proceedings of Roland Beainy. It also does not provide any information about the constitutionality of Trump's call for a citizens-only census or any changes in the rating or the reason for the increased media attention on Trump Burger.
