Irish Man Detained 5 Months Despite Valid Work Permit Amid Forgery Claims
An Irish man, Seamus Culleton, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for five months and faces deportation despite holding a valid work permit and having no criminal record. Culleton, married to a US citizen and operating a local business, was arrested during a random immigration sweep, according to his lawyer. Despite being in the process of applying for lawful permanent residence and having a final interview scheduled, his detention prevented him from attending, and he claims to have been pressured to sign deportation documents he did not agree to. His lawyer argues that the government is acting ineptly and capriciously towards an individual who has established a life and business in the US and followed immigration procedures correctly.
