Trump Burger Owner Awaits November Deportation Hearing as Legal Battles Continue

Deportation charges hinge on alleged visa overstay coupled with a marriage petition revoked for suspected fraud

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 Beainy bond on June 13, allowing him to remain in the U.S. pending his next court date set for November 18, 2025.
  • ICE and USCIS allege Beainy failed to depart after his visa expired in February 2024 and that his marriage-based petition was voided for suspected sham nuptials.
  • Trump Burger operates four Texas outlets with pro-Trump décor and branded menu items despite lacking any formal tie to the Trump Organization, which sent a cease-and-desist over its name use.
  • Beainy faces multiple civil suits, including an ownership dispute with co-owner Iyad Abuelhawa and a landlord lawsuit at the Kemah location, raising questions about the chain’s stability.
  • Under President Trump’s administration, ICE has stepped up interior enforcement, targeting visa overstayers like Beainy regardless of their business affiliations or political leanings.
