JD Vance’s Deportation Threat To Fashion Critic Who Mocked His Style

Washington:
It appeared that US Vice President JD Vance advocated for the deportation of a well-known fashion blogger who had previously criticized his dressing style. Derek Guy, the fashion commentator behind the popular X account known as “Menswear Guy”, came under Vance's line of fire after he opened up about coming to the United States illegally from Canada as a kid after his father found work in the country.
In a series of posts on X, Guy recounted his immigration journey, saying his mother crossed the Canadian border carrying him, while he was still a baby, after his family fled Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. He also admitted that his family never had any legal documentation.
“My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in Canada. 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. Due to his ignorance of immigration laws, he extended his stay in the United States and asked my mother to accompany him. Naturally, when I was still a baby, she carried me across the border,” he wrote. The fashion blogger admitted that he never had any legal documentation and falls into the category of an undocumented immigrant.
“I still don't know if we technically broke any immigration laws. As it is today, the border between Canada and the United States was relatively open. 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. “Like everyone else, my identity and roots are heavily rooted in this country,” he stated. Extending support to protests in Los Angeles over Trump's crackdown on immigration, Guy noted that there are millions of people like him living in the US whose parents came to the country illegally.
“The ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) sweeps, in my opinion, are cruel. The protesters who are risking their lives for non-violent resistance have my support and admiration. Ultimately, I think we need to solve this issue on a systemic level. It's unreasonable to me to expect that the government will deport some 10-20 million people. He wrote, “Even if one million people are deported, there will be an incredible amount of chaos and wasteful government spending.” He went on to say that the reason he told his story was to refute the notion that “all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members.” The fashion blogger had in the past made jesting fashion critiques of Vance and other elected officials.
Vance's Threat
Vance entered the discussion by replying with a meme on a separate X post about Guy's immigration status. The post said that the Vice President has “the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever,” appearing to refer to the deportation of Guy.
