Roland Mehrez Beainy, a 28-year-old Lebanese national and co-founder of Texas's Trump-themed burger chain, is facing deportation after US immigration officials said he overstayed a 2019 visitor visa and sought legal status through a fraudulent marriage. He insists the claims are 'not true'.

ICE says Beainy entered the US in 2019 on a non-immigrant visitor visa and failed to depart by 12 February 2024; agents arrested him on 16 May 2025, and an immigration judge granted bond on 13 June while proceedings continue.
