Irish Man Detained During Green Card Process
- Seamus Culleton, an Irishman married to an American, was detained by ICE five months before his green card interview after a random sweep at a hardware store.
- He refuses to sign deportation paperwork and has been moved from Buffalo to an overcrowded El Paso facility where he shares a cell with 70 people.
Use Media Pressure To Advance Cases
- Seamus's family raised his profile publicly because legal channels stalled and media pressure can influence immigration cases.
- Use public attention strategically when private legal efforts are insufficient.

- David Blevins spoke directly with Seamus and his lawyer about harsh conditions and fear for his life in the detention centre.
- Seamus sounds demoralised after five months in El Paso, humanising wider immigration detention issues.
