Fashion influencer who criticized Trump's style draws the attention of DHS after revealing he's an undocumented immigrant
Derek Guy, the popular men's tailoring influencer known for critiquing Donald Trump and JD Vance's clothing, has revealed that he is an undocumented migrant to the United States – and could therefore be at risk of being deported. In a lengthy post on X over the weekend, Guy, who has mercilessly ridiculed the length of the president's trademark red ties and the cut of his deputy's suits, explained the moving circumstances behind his family's arrival in the U.S. 'My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in the Canada,' he wrote. 'My father worked there for a time as a janitor; my mother, a secretary. When work fell through, my dad was offered to work with his sister in the United States, so he went, as our family needed money. 'He ended up staying in the US longer than he was supposed to – not knowing immigration laws – and asked my mom to come be with him. Of course, she went and carried me over the border while I was still a baby.' Guy concluded: 'I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part). 'But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant.' Alarmingly, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responded to another tweet about Guy's admission by posting a meme from the children's film Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams (2002) in which the character Juni Cortez's high-tech glasses zoom in on a target, implying that they are looking into the situation. The Independent has contacted the DHS for clarification on Guy's situation. Vance also replied with a meme taken from a movie from more than 20 years ago, in his case a GIF of Jack Nicholson grinning and nodding enthusiastically from the 2003 comedy Anger Management, which might equally be interpreted as a veiled threat. Guy, who is notoriously publicity shy and seldom photographed, made light of the tension on X, posting some of the media reaction to his revelation on Monday and commenting: 'Honestly didn't expect this is what would happen when I joined a menswear forum 15 years ago.' On Tuesday, he joked: 'Just walked by {Immigration and Customs Enforcement] ICE but I was wearing slim chinos and dress sneakers so they suspected nothing.' Guy's tweets have repeatedly mocked Trump and Vance's sartorial choices, as well as other members of the administration like Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth and Robert F Kennedy Jr and MAGA acolytes like Charlie Kirk. In late May, he derided the president and Kirk's appearances in the Oval Office, noting that the latter's 'shrunken and soft' threads left him looking 'like he was dunked into water while wearing the suit, put through a tumble dry, and then dunked again.' Teasing Vance over his St Patrick's Day socks in March, he observed that the veep's 'pants are too slim, hence why they ride up on him like this.' Last year, he rubbished Miller's obsequious claim that Trump is America's most stylish president, listing John F Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush as four occupants of the White House who were more smartly turned out than the current president, in his opinion. The controversy comes at a time when the Trump administration is drastically speeding up its crackdown on illegal immigration, sparking five days of protests in Los Angeles that have since spread to other major American cities.

JD Vance uses Jack Nicholson meme in apparent threatening deportation post
Users on X tagged Vance under the man's post in an apparent attempt to get the menswear influencer deported from the United States, a country the man says he's been in since he was a "baby" Vice President JD Vance appeared to threaten to deport a man who runs a popular social media account focused on menswear after the user shared a post detailing his experience living as an undocumented immigrant in the United States. On X (formerly Twitter), the user, known as "Derek guy," posted a lengthy message encouraging people not to view undocumented immigrants as "MS-13 members", as the Trump administration has often tried to characterize them, but rather see them as "neighbors" such as himself. In response to this, users on X tagged Vance, telling the vice president he has the "opportunity to do the funniest thing ever," suggesting that he work to deport the "derek guy." Vance responded with a meme of actor Jack Nicholson from the movie Anger Management shaking his head, saying, "Yes," menacingly. "Derek guy," also known as "menswear guy," largely uses his account to share his thoughts on current pop culture and clothing trends. He has previously taken shots at Vance over his clothing choices, including saying that his pants are "too slim," jackets that "don't hug him very well," and a tie that was "a distraction." But on Monday, "Derek guy" broke from his usual content to recount his own experiences living as an undocumented immigrant in the U.S., saying that his mother brought him to the country from Canada when he was a "baby." He said that his parents fled their home in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War. The family first came to Canada, but his father ultimately sought work in the U.S., with him and his mother following behind him shortly after. "Since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant. Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else," the menswear guru wrote on X. "The lack of legal immigration has totally shaped my life. It has made every interaction with the law much scarier. It has shaped which opportunities I could or could not get. It has taken an emotional toll, as this legal issue hangs over your head like a black cloud," he added. His comments come amid the ongoing protests and ICE raids in Southern California, as Los Angeles moves into a fourth night of protests, with the Trump administration deploying 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 active duty Marines to the city. "Derek guy" called the current immigration sweeps "inhumane" and encouraged those in opposition to them to do more to support pro-immigration groups.

J.D. Vance Thought It Would Be Funny To Joke About Deporting A Menswear Writer Who Made Fun Of His Outfits
JD Vance suggested on social media Monday that he is OK with the idea of deporting a menswear expert who has skewered the vice president's fashion sense. Derek Guy writes about men's fashion for various outlets and has a popular account on X where he often criticizes the fashion choices of public figures, including right-wing politicians. In March, Guy suggested that the vice president's pants are too slim, which causes them to ride up his legs when he sits. @dieworkwear / Via Although Guy keeps much of his identity private, he wrote a deeply personal X post on Sunday about his family fleeing the Vietnam War, calling the Trump administration's immigration policy 'inhumane.' He also shared that his mother brought him from Canada to the U.S. as a baby without legal documentation so they could reunite with his father. Part of his X post mentioned the following: I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part). But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant. Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else. Guy's post pointed out that the vast majority of immigrants ― undocumented or not ― are not 'MS-13 members' but 'are all like your neighbors.'
