Vice President Vance and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday appeared to back the deportation of the popular X user known as the “Menswear Guy.”
In a lengthy post on the social platform Sunday, X user @dieworkwear, also known as “Derek Guy” said he had a history of “being an undocumented immigrant.”
“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,” he said in the post.
Earlier Monday, a user on X said “the menswear guy just openly admitted on here that he’s here illegally,” to which another user responded, “JD Vance I know you’re reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.”
Vance responded to the post with a GIF of actor Jack Nicholson nodding.
The DHS account also responded to the first user’s post about Guy’s immigration status, replying with a GIF featuring a character from the “Spy Kids” movie series who is wearing glasses that have a series of lenses on one side that flip out and become smaller as they extend.
Guy is known for snarkily noting what he sees as mistakes in how people dress on X and often targets right-wing figures. In response to Vance’s post, he posted two photos of the vice president, one in which Vance is wearing a white button-up shirt and another in which he’s wearing a suit.
“i think i can outrun you in these clothes,” Guy said in the post responding to Vance.
The Hill has reached out to Guy for comment.
