Court pauses deportation of Irishman who lived for decades in Boston
A federal judge temporarily halted the deportation of Seamus Culleton, who has lived in Massachusetts for nearly two decades and is applying for a green card.
- A federal judge in Massachusetts on Sunday granted a temporary stay of removal for Seamus Culleton while his petition for review is pending, halting immediate deportation.
- Having lived in Massachusetts for years, ICE says Culleton overstayed a 90-day visitor visa after arriving in 2009, prompting removal proceedings.
- Culleton's attorney and wife said last month he has no U.S. criminal record and hopes he can be released from an ICE detention center on a military base in El Paso, Texas.
- The court declined to order his release, writing 'he has failed to explain why such a request properly might be entertained by the court at this juncture,' so Seamus Culleton remains in detention as his case proceeds.
- Complicating the appeal, Irish reporting indicates a 2009 warrant tied to a person with the same name, while Irish court records show accusations in 2008, and U.S. reports include uncharged allegations from an ex-wife.
