    After a video call with her husband on Sunday night – their first in five months – Smyth told Culleton’s family in Ireland he had lost weight and hair and had sores and infections. “There’s no hygiene there. He’s been asking for antibiotics for the last four weeks,” his sister, Caroline Culleton, told RTÉ. The detainees were seldom allowed out for exercise or air, she said.

    Well nobody boycotted Qatar WC, so I guess the US having concentration camps won’t be a reason to boycott their WC, right?

    The EU should be summoning the US ambassador and threatening sanctions against the Trump regimes cabinet if he isn’t released. Just like how they deal with fascist Russia.

        you mean other than the very article in this post?

        When his attorney appealed to a federal court, two ICE agents said that in Buffalo Culleton had signed documents agreeing to be deported. Culleton said he did not agree and that the signatures were not his. “My whole life is here. I worked so hard to build my business. My wife is > here.

        The judge noted irregularities in ICE’s court documents but sided with the agency. Under US law Culleton cannot appeal but he wants handwriting experts to examine the signatures and believes a video of his interview with ICE in Buffalo would prove he refused to sign deportation documents.

      If we forget the horrible human cruelty of all of this, financially it’s still a nightmare. People being transported around the country into different “detention centers” (concentration camps) for months, costs a lots of money. These centers are privately run, airlines make money with the transport part, the US debt continues to grow.

      Probably because they never got his signature. Which they then forged anyway to prevent his release.
