Beainy reported grew up in Lebanon and arrived at the United States in 2019. He claims to own 50% of the Trump Burger restaurant chain, along with Eddie Hawa. Trump Burger opened it's first joint on the election day on November 5, 2020, in Flatonia, Texas. Recently, the joint made headlines after Beainy and his co-owner, Eddie engaged in a lawsuit over the joint's ownership.
Could Roland Beainy be Deported?
The news of Beainy and his wife's Green Card trouble was first published by The Record on July 10, 2025. The report cited a letter sent by the US Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) to a woman identified as Beainy's wife on January 10 regarding the revocation of her I-130 form, which allows her to stay in the US as Beainy's relative.
However, their
marriage was contested by the UCIS as per the letter cited by The Records. "No lease documents or other evidence show that you and Roland Beainy ever actually lived together during your marriage,” the letter reportedly read.
As of now, Beainy has an immigration hearing scheduled in Houston,
Texas on November 18, 2025. Thus, though there is a risk of deportation for Beainy, no reports suggest that it is immediate and will happen for sure.

Roland Beainy Lawsuit With Eddie Hawa
Roland Beainy and Eddie Hawa are engaged in a well-publicized lawsuit over the ownership of Trump Burger starting in April 2025. The suit, filed by Beainy at Fayette County on April 19, claimed that he owns 50% of the business - a claim that is contested by Hawa. Beainy claims that he has paid $65,000 to Hawa in 2019 for a 50% stake in Trump Burger.
The feud escalated when Hawa filed a counterclaim saying that there was no such contract, as Beainy claims and is seeking $1 million in damages. Fayette County courts are yet to decide on the case.
