Remember that Irish guy picked up by ICE and held for 5 months?

[Liberal In Texas]

He has a valid work permit and is married to a US citizen.
Well, it seems that ICE might actually (accidentally?) have picked up somebody who isn't squeaky clean.
Seems it might have fled here to keep ahead of the law in Ireland...

On Thursday, it emerged that in April 2009 – a month after Culleton entered the US on a tourist visa – a district court in New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland, issued a warrant over the alleged possession of drugs for sale or supply the previous year. Culleton also faced charges of allegedly obstructing a garda – a police officer – during a search by throwing 25 ecstasy tablets on the ground, the Irish Times reported.

These disclosures have added a new dimension to a case that has become a lightning rod for concern about ongoing ICE immigration sweeps and detentions around the US.

“He received full due process and was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on September 10th 2025.” He was offered the choice to be instantly deported to Ireland but instead “chose to stay in ICE custody”, she said, referencing his decision to contest his deportation.

It seems he really really doesn't want to go back to the Old Sod.
