TEXAS - The co-creator of the infamous 'Trump Burger' restaurant and sandwich shop has been detained by ICE three weeks after his business partner met the same fate.
While Roland Beainy, the co-founder of the restaurant, had his green card revoked and had been accused of immigration fraud, partner Iyad Muhammad Abuelhawa has a much darker criminal past.
Abuelhawa, a 55-year-old citizen of Jordan, had received a deportation order in 2009 and has spent time in federal prison for health care fraud and drug misbranding.
He faced his first conviction for assault in 2000 before running a phony flu shot scam in Texas.
'While in the U.S. illegally, Abuelhawa has repeatedly put the lives of innocent Americans in jeopardy. In 2007, he was convicted of healthcare fraud and misbranding of a drug for dangerously injecting 1,600 Houston-area residents with fake flu shots,' an ICE spokesperson said.
Abuelhawa was supposed to be deported after he got out of prison but was able to remain in the country and used the alias 'Eddie Hawa.'
He and his wife Suad Hamedah rebranded his Bellville Cafe as the 'Trump Cafe' in 2016 when Trump first ran for president and went viral.
Abuelhawa's first restaurant failed but he went into business in 2020 with Beainy on the Trump Burger joint which eventually became a chain.
