Houston-area Trump-themed burger joint owner now facing deportation

HOUSTON — The owner of President Donald Trump-themed burger joints in the Houston area is facing deportation, according to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Roland Beainy is a Lebanese immigrant who operates restaurants in and around Houston.

According to an ICE spokesperson, Beainy, 28, was supposed to leave the country by Feb. 12, 2024. They said he initially entered the country in 2019, but he overstayed his visa.

The ICE spokesperson said Beainy doesn't have any immigration benefits that would prevent him from being arrested or removed from the country.

Because he used Chump's name in the joint's title and didn't give him a cut of the profits.
