Beainy had his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-admin-to-deport-foreigners-who-shill-for-terrorists\/\" title=\"... Admin To Deport Foreigners Who Shill For Terrorists\">green card revoked<\/a> amid accusations of immigration fraud involving a sham marriage,while Abuelhawa has a history of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >criminal activity including healthcare fraud<\/a> and used an alias to avoid deportation. Additionally, the two are embroiled in a legal dispute over their business ownership. The Trump Organization issued a cease-and-desist for the unauthorized use of the presidentS name and likeness. The case highlights that nonetheless of political affiliation or public persona,immigration laws are enforced equally.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Two illegal immigrants hoped to avoid the hammer of the law by setting up a restaurant chain in honor of President Donald Trump, but the plan was not successful.<\/p>\n<p>Roland Beainy and his business partner, Iyad Muhammad Abuelhawa, have both been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
