J.D. Vance: deport Derek Guy

Forget the protesters versus police clash on the West Coast: this week’s fiercest battle of wits is between a Vietnamese fashion critic and the Vice President of the United States.

The man running an anonymous X account dedicated to critiquing politicians’ attire, Derek Guy, may find himself America’s next top deportee.

Guy, who has criticized Pete Hegseth’s USA socks and Sam Altman’s strange trouser bagginess, took to X Sunday evening, to come clean about his own illegal residence and disgust with the Trump administration’s deportation agenda.

“My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in the Canada,” Guy wrote. From Canada, his dad went to the US to work, overstaying the legal timeframe. He and his mom joined him, he explained. “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.”

Guy said he believes it’s “unreasonable to deport millions of people who have contributed positively to society.”

Trump-era deportation rates have never been higher, and the rising deportee rate averages about 850 per day, according to the New York Times.

Tech entrepreneur Daniel Francis, aka growing_daniel on X, got the Vice President’s attention and referenced Guy’s post: “JD Vance I know you’re reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.”

Vance responded to Daniel’s post with a GIF of Jack Nicholson in Anger Management, slowly nodding and smiling.

The X exchange did not end there. Guy, who has criticized Vance for his pants being too short and tight responded, “i think i can outrun you in these clothes,” alongside images of Vance’s tight fits to prove his point.

Several hours later, the Department of Homeland Security piggybacked off the exchange with a Spy Kids GIF, perhaps indicating that they would look into the matter.

Guy and Vance’s back-and-forth followed violent protests in Los Angeles, largely led by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. Over the weekend, more than 1,000 protesters in LA surrounded and “assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings and taxpayer funded property,” according to a DHS press release. The department added, “It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) two hours to respond.”

Trump fanned the flames from Truth Social, posting in all caps, “Arrest the people in face masks, now!” and “Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!” The President also deployed the National Guard, including 300 California National Guard troops. The unrest has continued throughout the week. Guy has yet to comment on the outfits worn by the activists.
