It was pretty bad before this.

Seventeen days after Roland Beainy, the face of the viral restaurant Trump Burger and an ardent fan of the president, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of not being in the country legally, Iyad Abuelhawa — who founded the Trump Burger forerunner in 2016; whose wife recently slammed Beainy for taking credit for their idea; who, 20 years ago, was accused of injecting 1,100 Exxon Mobil employees with fake flu vaccines and then, while in jail, snitched on another inmate’s murder-for-hire-plot before pleading guilty in his own case — was also detained by ICE and is being held in untenable conditions, according to his attorney.

8 commas

2 em dashes

2 semicolons

1 sentence
