ICE is out of control, it needs to be roped in. Trump promised to deport DANGEROUS CRIMINALS. And yet: An Irish man who has been in US immigration detention for five months has said he fears for his life and is confined in appalling conditions, as international scrutiny grows over the treatment of immigrants held by US authorities. Seamus Culleton, originally from the Irish county of Kilkenny, has been held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas since early September. Culleton, who has lived in Boston for more than 15 years and runs a construction company, told Irish broadcaster RTE that he was taken by ICE officers on his way home from Home Depot. Culleton said that he told ICE authorities that he is married to a US citizen, is in the process of applying for a green card, had no criminal record and had a valid work permit. “As far as I know I was covered,” he said, speaking from an ICE facility in El Paso, Texas where he is currently detained. “None of that mattered; they cuffed me and took me away,” he said.
