Overview

  • Derek Guy, known as Menswear Guy on X, revealed on June 8 that he has been an undocumented immigrant since childhood after his family fled Vietnam.
  • Vice President JD Vance responded on June 9 with a Jack Nicholson nodding GIF that was widely interpreted as a veiled threat to deport the fashion commentator.
  • The Department of Homeland Security followed with its own meme referencing Spy Kids to indicate support for enforcement actions against Guy.
  • Guy countered by sharing photos of Vance’s ill-fitting suits and joking that he could outrun the vice president in his poorly tailored clothes.
  • The back-and-forth reflects heightened tensions over immigration policy as recent ICE raids in Los Angeles have sparked large-scale protests.
