Trump Burger Mocks ICE After Owners Detained - The Logical Leftist



In this eye-opening video, we dive into the bizarre saga of Trump Burger, a Texas restaurant that has found itself at the center of controversy after its owners were detained by immigration authorities. Roland Beainy and Iyad Abuelhawa, the duo behind the burger chain, have been accused of overstaying their visas, but their story takes a wild turn as they respond with a bit of trolling.

With locations adorned with American flags and buns stamped with "TRUMP," the restaurant has made headlines for its provocative branding and a presidential impersonator who playfully questions Latino customers about their immigration status. But when they started cashing in on Trump's name, things took a serious turn.

Abuelhawa, who has a checkered past including a federal prison sentence for healthcare fraud, and Beainy, who allegedly attempted a sham marriage to stay in the U.S., are now facing the consequences of their actions. Did their attempts to profit from Trump's brand provoke the ire of the Trump organization, leading to a cease and desist letter and subsequent ICE actions?

Join us as we unpack this strange tale of irony, immigration, and the lengths some will go to for a quick buck. Is it a case of misguided ambition or just plain foolishness? Watch now to find out!
