Vance post suggests deporting the "Menswear Guy"

Driving the news: The Menswear Guy, whose name is Derek Guy, wrote on X that he came to the U.S. illegally from Canada as a kid when his father found work in the country.

• Vance replied to a separate X post about Guy's immigration status, with the user saying the vice president has "the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever," appearing to refer to the deportation of Guy, who has made jesting fashion critiques of Vance and other elected officials before.
• Vance's spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
• Guy shot back at Vance in a follow-up post, "i think i can outrun you in these clothes." He also joked that Vance lived at the ready-to-wear retailer, Men's Warehouse.

Zoom out: Guy's post was a response to the riots and protests in Los Angeles last weekend, advocating against immigration enforcement raids in the city. He condemned the violence on the streets and called the ICE arrests "inhumane."

• "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," he wrote on X.

• "My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else."
• His parents came to the U.S. from Canada after fleeing Vietnam after the Tet Offensive, he said.
• "Ultimately, I hope me sharing this story helps push back against the idea that all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members."
