Irishman held by ICE was issued warrant over 2009 drug offense in Ireland
AI Summary
Seamus Culleton, an Irish man detained by ICE in the US for five months and facing deportation despite a valid work permit, is now facing new scrutiny. An Irish court issued a warrant for his arrest in April 2009 related to alleged drug possession and obstruction of a police officer in Ireland the previous year. Culleton entered the US in March 2009 and overstayed his visa, later marrying a US citizen and obtaining a work permit while applying for permanent residency. His lawyer, who previously described him as a "model immigrant," claims to have been unaware of the warrant. The case has drawn attention due to concerns about ICE activity and Culleton's claims of poor conditions in detention.
