Larry Donnolly – Irish man held by ICE in Texas

11th February 2026

I’m joined now by political commentator Larry Donnelly to talk about the case of Seamus Culleton, a 42-year-old Irish man from County Kilkenny who has been held in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas for over five months despite holding a valid U.S. work permit, being married to a U.S. citizen, and having no criminal record.  

His situation — and the reported conditions in detention — has sparked concern here in Ireland and questions about immigration enforcement and diplomatic responses.
