Pal of Trump-Backed Star Facing Deportation After Coke Bust

A close friend of the Donald Trump-backed MAGA star aiming to be the next governor of Florida is fighting deportation after a DUI arrest, PunchUp has revealed in a new report.

Byron Donalds pal and political ally, Vlastimil “Pat” Jira, a businessman from Naples, Florida—who co-founded the Collier County Young Republicans with the Florida representative, 47—was arrested in December 2023 and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell or distribute and with DUI, reports the Beast’s sister investigative Substack. The arrest was covered in the media.

Having pleaded no-contest to both counts, the DUI resulted in a guilty adjudication, and the cocaine charge was adjudicated withheld.

ICE detained Jira on Feb. 10 this year while he was reporting to his probation officer, PunchUp reported, as he was allegedly living in the country illegally.

GoFundMe organized on behalf of Donalds’ senior political adviser Larry Wilcoxson—titled “Help Bring Pat Jira Back Home”—states Jira had moved to the United States at age 5 from the Czech Republic. He was held at Krome North SPC in Miami, with the GoFundMe stating he was due to be transferred to its sister facility, “Alligator Alcatraz.”
