Trump Burger Co-Owner Faces Deportation After Green Card Revocation

He remains free on bond pending deportation proceedings following this summer’s revocation of his green card.

TOPSHOT - A burger is seen at Trump Burger restaurant, in Bellville, Texas, on April 19, 2025. It is lunchtime at a Texas eatery called Trump Burger and diners are enjoying fast food and the frenetic first 100 days of their president's second term. Trump is everywhere in this joint with a dozen tables -- in cardboard cutouts of the man eking out his trademark forced smile, on banners from the 2024 campaign, and on hats and T-shirts displayed for sale. It is a franchise of a company with four such Trump-themed outlets in Texas and no equal anywhere else in America. The chain is not linked to the Trump Organization.

Overview

  • An immigration judge granted Roland Beainy bond on June 13, allowing his release from ICE custody as he awaits removal hearings.
  • Court documents filed on June 9 confirm that his 2021 I-130 petition was overturned and his green card formally revoked.
  • ICE arrested Beainy on May 16 for overstaying his nonimmigrant visa, and officials say he holds no valid immigration status in the US.
  • Trump Burger operates four Texas outlets under a Trump-themed brand that has no official connection to the Trump Organization and received a cease-and-desist over its name.
  • Beainy’s legal troubles have extended to lawsuits over his ownership stake and lease agreements, with countersuits challenging his claims to the restaurants.
