Also, an Irishman, Seamus Culleton, detained by ICE for five months, described his detention as "like a modern-day concentration camp," according to Sky News. Culleton, who has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and is married to a US citizen, stated he would like Irish premier Micheal Martin to raise his case with US President Donald Trump. Culleton said, "I don't know how much more I can take," calling it "torture."
