The social commentator had openly criticised President Trump's stance on immigration, expressing frustration over the potential deportations his policies may lead to after his defeat of former Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 2024 elections.

He is not playing at all. They are catching a lot of people in New York. If you don't have documents, stay home."

Twene Jonas also denied claims that he was hiding in his home in fear of being deported. He explained that he was staying indoors because of the harsh weather conditions.

He also claimed that he wanted to sleep in his mansion to avoid being mistakenly caught and deported since he did not want his money to go to waste.
