Why Is “Deport Harry Sisson” Trending? Influencer Responds to Claims About His Citizenship

“Deport Harry Sisson” began trending on X (formerly Twitter) after a controversial tweet involving political influencer Harry Sisson went viral on October 15. The 22-year-old left-leaning commentator shared a post comparing President Biden and former President Trump, stating: “Biden got more hostages released than Trump.”

This remark followed reports that Donald Trump helped broker a deal between Hamas and Israel, resulting in the release of seven Israeli hostages and a temporary ceasefire after years of conflict. The comment sparked backlash from right-wing users.

One X user, known as Mr. Star Spangled MAGA, reshared Sisson’s tweet and encouraged others to start the trend “Deport Harry Sisson.” The user also falsely claimed that Sisson was born in Singapore and had only lived in the United States for five years.

The trend quickly gained traction, receiving thousands of comments and retweets. Some users joined the criticism, while others defended Harry Sisson. Content creator Chris Mowrey called the trend “hilarious,” noting that Sisson has lived in the U.S. for many years and is “a great patriot.”

As the phrase climbed to #23 on the U.S. trending list, Harry Sisson responded, clarifying that he is American by birth and has always lived in the United States. His response aimed to shut down rumors about his nationality.

Background: Harry Sisson’s Recent Controversies

The trend comes shortly after Harry Sisson appeared in an interview with Interview Magazine in September 2025. During the conversation, he discussed several political issues and shared a controversial opinion about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Sisson suggested that Trump’s relationship with Epstein might have been “much deeper and more nefarious” than the public knows.

He also expressed doubt that the full Epstein files would ever be released, suggesting Trump would never allow documents that could harm him to surface.

Sisson further mentioned his recent appearance on Piers Morgan’s show, calling it “the most fun I’ve had,” despite intense debate with a MAGA supporter over Trump’s health.

The “Deport Harry Sisson” trend highlights how fast misinformation can spread on social media. Despite rumors, Harry Sisson has confirmed that he was born in the United States and is not subject to deportation. The trend appears to be politically motivated backlash rather than a factual claim.
