The 40-year-old man was deported from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts to Dublin on Friday evening.
He is the father of two American-born children, aged nine and ten, and the former owner of a small construction company near Boston.

As previously covered by The Journal, the man, who does not wish to be identified, had overstayed his travel visa, but had joined the waiting list for green card applications three years ago.


Foley (lawyer of deported man) previously told The Journal that there was “no flexibility” from US officials in their decision to detain the man, noting that ICE officers had been more willing to compromise in previous years before the Trump administration.

“You send emails that are ignored, leave voicemail messages that are never returned and repeatedly go to someone’s office all to be ignored. 

“This administration is different – this administration is dangerous,” Foley said.
The lawyer added that there is a new mentality among law enforcement and immigration officers under “Trump 2.0”.
“They’re intent on instilling fear, and it’s working – they’re proud of it. I’ve never seen anything like this before; we’re in a whole new era now,” Foley said.

1. It's sad, but I read this story and

think to myself, this guy is lucky. They could've sent him to Sudan or somewhere equally as nice. I have no doubt they've done that to some people.
