The day after he was arrested while working at a restaurant in Texas, Mervin Jose Yamarte Fernandez climbed out of a plane in shackles in El Salvador, bound for the largest mega-prison in Latin America. His sister, Jare, recognized him in a video shared on social media. As masked guards shaved detainees’ heads and led them into cells at the maximum-security complex, Yamarte Fernandez turned his gaze slowly to the camera. “He was asking for help. And that help didn’t come from the lips. It came from the soul,” said Jare, who asked to be identified by her nickname because she fears for her family’s safety and who added her brother has no previous criminal record. “You know when someone has their soul broken.”

How did we get here? Ehrlich claims he found a legal loophole to reach mayor-ville, turning to an obscure New York state law dubbed the Citizen Empowerment Act to create what he calls the “Incorporated Village of Sea Cliff Residents” — and proclaim himself its mayor. (Per the state of New York, a successful dissolution of village government requires 10 percent of its population — or 500 people in Sea Cliff — to sign a petition.) Ehrlich’s claim to food fame is Pirate’s Booty, the airy corn-and-rice snack he founded in 1987. The popular pantry staple made Ehrlich rich, to say the least; B&G Foods bought Pirate Brands for $195 million in 2013, and Hershey scooped up the cash-cow conglomerate for a whopping $420 million in 2018.
