An Irishman who overstayed his 90-day tourist visa more than 15 years ago has been held in a Texas immigration detention facility for nearly five months rather than be deported, despite calling it a form of “torture.”
Seamus Culleton, who is married to an American woman, told Irish media that he has a valid US work permit and a pending green card application when he was suddenly picked up by agents in Boston, where he runs a construction company.
He was cuffed and eventually flown more than 2,000 miles from home to a camp facility at Fort Bliss Army base in Texas, where he alleges he’s been locked in the same “filthy” room. ---SNIP---
“He entered the United States in 2009 under the visa waiver program, which allows you to stay in the US for 90 days without a visa. He failed to depart the US,”

Deport him, nothing more needs to be said, next case please.
‘It’s just torture’

Imagine how tortured the average US citizen is knowing that his government is largely working against him.
He overstayed his visa. Try that in Ireland. Enjoy the rest of your stay, boyo.
I thought they were just rounding up brown people.
Gotta be more to this story..
We either have laws or we don’t. We either have borders or we don’t.
That mis-leading headline now makes it look like ICE is torturing its detainees.
Get this cretin the hell out of the USA.
He came here on a 90 day visa with the explicit purpose to never go back to Ireland. Didn’t want to stand in line behind millions of others who wish to come here LEGALLY!
Let him start a construction business in Ireland, so he can hire illegal alien employees there. /spit
Put me on the plane.
Americans spend big money visiting Ireland.
FAFO. LOL!
Dublin has a housing shortage.
As an EU citizen, he could build things in sunny Spain rather than now chilly & often cloudy Boston.
15 years and a pending green card?
I know govt bureaucracy is slow but this is ridiculous😂😎
He is a liar. All Irish are.
“Put me on the plane.”
What I should have wrote was: He can request transport ASAP to Ireland.
Not a tear do I drop...
Whoa!

Yup. So he ignores immigration law until Big T got elected. In April of 2025 this leprechaun decides he better get serious and he started the paperwork he should have done 20 years ago.
This is the immigration equivalent of a motorist on a traffic stop saying “I was just on the way to the DMV to get my license renewed”. IOW, 🐮💩.
