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.
Dude has been here 15 years and married an American and still hasn't gotten what he needs? Cry me a river.

The Kilkenny native claimed that he did not know why he was being held while admitting that he refused to sign papers approving his deportation.
Just spitballing here, but being held may be related to refusing to sign the deportation papers.
Quote:
Politicians in the detained man's native Ireland have vowed to complain to the White House about his case.
That should go over as well as an Irish bar that only serves water.
And given he's been held for months, that should put to bed that only certain skin colors are being targeted. Illegal is illegal. Doesn't matter skin tone.
