Overview

• ICE says Iyad Muhammad Abuelhawa, 55, was arrested on June 2 and is being held at the Montgomery processing center in Conroe, Texas.
• Officials cite a 2009 deportation order and prior convictions—including healthcare fraud and drug misbranding tied to fake flu shots—as reasons for detention.
• Abuelhawa’s attorneys allege he has been denied insulin and monitoring for diabetes and heart issues, a claim DHS disputes as false.
• Former partner Roland Beainy was detained in May over an alleged visa overstay and a suspected sham marriage and was released on bond on June 13 pending proceedings.
• ICE made the June arrests public this month as the Trump-branded franchise faces ownership lawsuits, eviction actions and allegations of business mismanagement.
