And the latest victim of ICE is.. (drum roll)
First, kudos to ICE for trying to add more Whites tokens to the dance that way they can avoid the eternal racist tag…. Yeah, I know, that will never go away.
And now for Seamus boy:
Seamus Culleton, the Irishman living in the United States who is being detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) service, entered the US in 2009 as a tourist, according to a court ruling in Texas, where he is being held.
Culleton – who is married to a US citizen, has a work permit and was applying for a marriage-based green card – was unsuccessful in an application brought before the district court in El Paso aimed at securing his release.
In her ruling on January 23rd, Judge Kathleen Cardone noted that Culleton had entered the US under a visa waiver programme that allowed visits of not more than 90 days.
Under the programme, beneficiaries “waive any right ... to contest other than on the basis of an application for asylum, any action for removal” from the US.
Irishman detained in Texas overstayed 90-day visitor’s visa issued in 2009 – The Irish Times
And unless Ireland has declared war on Russia and were invaded, I really do not see him being able to apply for asylum. And this next tidbit is interesting.
Culleton’s sister, Caroline Culleton, said many Irish people went to the US in 2009, when the Irish construction industry was in a slump.
“He stayed there and it materialised from there, and that’s where we are now,” she told The Irish Times.
She said her brother got married in April 2025 and had been going out with his wife for a couple of years before that. His status had not been an issue until the re-election of US president Donald Trump, she said.
So he understood clearly he was in the country illegally but never gave a shit till the laws started to be enforced. And that makes it sound like this was a marriage of legal convenience seeking to circumvent legal consequences which may also affect his wife as being complicit in the immigration fraud.
Amazing funny stuff when the sob stories ran head on against the crap the sob-ees themselves created.



at least he didn’t marry his sister….
sympathy is between shiite and syphylis in the dictionary…. ya notice how EVERYTHING is a sob story?? negativity is the only thing “news” wants you to see…
"Amazing funny stuff when the sob stories ran head on against the crap the sob-ees themselves created."
Literally every sob story I've ever heard on NPR has led me to feeling zero sympathy for the subject of said story, with an occasional side of schadenfreude. And that's just from the facts presented in the story, with no additional digging.
