    | 'Absolute hell': Irishman with valid US work permit held by   
    | Ice since September   
    |   
    | Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas   
    | for nearly five months despite having no criminal record   
    |   
    | An Irishman living in the United States for more than 20   
    | years has been held by US Immigration and Customs   
    | Enforcement (Ice) officials since being arrested last   
    | September.   
    |   
    | Originally from Glenmore, Co Kilkenny, Seamus Culleton is   
    | married to a US citizen and owns a plastering business in   
    | the Boston area. He was arrested on September 9th, 2025,   
    | and has been in an Ice detention facility in Texas for   
    | nearly five months, despite having no criminal record, "not   
    | even a parking ticket". In a phone interview from the   
    | facility, he said conditions there are "like a   
    | concentration camp, absolute hell".   
    |   
    | Culleton said he was carrying a Massachusetts driving   
    | licence and a valid work permit issued by the US government   
    | when he was pulled over by Ice on the way home from work in   
    | September. His work permit was issued as part of an   
    | application for a green card which he initiated in April   
    | 2025. He has a final interview remaining.
