Part owner of Trump Burger chain in Texas allegedly loses green card over sham marriage, held in ICE custody for weeks

Yay for local newspapers pulling files at the courthouse​

Trump Burger Chain Embroiled in Lawsuits​

One of the people behind the Trump Burger restaurants in Flatonia and Kemah might get his green card revoked, according to documents obtained by the Record this week.

Roland Beainy, who reportedly grew up in Lebanon and moved to the United States in 2019, alleges in a lawsuit that he owns 50 percent of the business Trump Burger LLC.

[Beainy also sued the owner of the property where his burger joint was. In that matter...]

Furthermore, the notice stated that, “We have been notified that Roland Beainy is currently detained by ICE and his green card has been revoked. He is no longer recognized as a leaseholder or authorized representative of Trump Burger Kemah LLC.”

In an interview with the Record on Monday, July 7, Patterson said Beainy was in ICE custody for approximately seven weeks and that he was recently released on bond.

The Record has also obtained a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to a woman in East Bernard who claimed to be the wife of Roland Beainy. The letter, dated Jan. 29, notified the woman that USCIS intends to revoke approval for the I-130 form, Petition for Alien Relative, that she filed in 2021 so that Beainy could keep his green card.

The letter said USCIS conducted an investigation into the marriage and found, among other things, that, “No lease documents or other evidence show that you and Roland Beainy ever actually lived together during your marriage.”

[As for the landlord...]

Patterson has since leased the Kemah property to another tenant, who has renamed it “MAGA Burger.”

That’s probably a good idea, because lawyers for President Trump’s private business, the Trump Organization, sent Trump Burger of Bellville a cease and desist letter on Feb. 3.
