Was this detail in the public domain before all the outrage? Presumably this fella can just fly back to Ireland any time he wants rather than staying in detention too?
Changes the story a bit.
>Culleton’s sister, Caroline Culleton, said many Irish people went to the US in 2009, when the Irish construction industry was in a slump.
>“He stayed there, and it materialised from there, and that’s where we are now,” she told The Irish Times.
Seems pretty clear what happened here. He overstayed a short term visa. Europe would deport such illegal immigrants. The court didn’t agree with him so he’s stuck in detention until he agrees to deportation.
Unfortunately he’s a bit of victim of the Irish „ah sure it’s grand mentality“.
He’s illegal in the eyes of US, and only decided to change his status when things got tricky.
I do feel sorry for the guy, construction in Ireland in 2009 was on its knees so I don’t blame him for heading off and not wanting to come back, but sticking it out on a visa waiver was always going to be tricky regardless of who was in the white house.
Fascinatingly long time for his past shenanigans to still catch up with him
This kinda stuff has been going on for ages, he knew the risks.

As reported by CNN
„That’s an administrative infraction. And under U.S. Law it is perfectly legal for him to rectify his status through marriage to an American citizen, which is exactly what he was doing, which is why he had a valid U.S. Work permit, which was issued by the United States government in his pending green card.“
Why they didn’t deport him back to Ireland?
Don’t know why we get so worked up defending people who knowingly stayed illegally. I mean he knew what he was at, loads of Irish seem to do this and expect to pull the pity card when caught
Right well that changes things a tad.
Couldn’t believe the support this lad got in the thread here the other day.
It was as plain as day he went there illegally and took the piss for two decades.
I’m all for his immediate release seeing as he clearly doesn’t post a threat to society but no one can complain if he’s immediately deported.
We would expect the same if an illegal had so much disregard and contempt for our immigration laws.
