The effort to smear this guy is disgraceful


Literally a drug dealer who abandoned his family in Ireland.

Just give up, nobody need make any effort to “smear” him, he smeared himself.



If he’s all that, why did he bring himself to the attention of the media? Why did he ask the Irish government to intercede on his behalf with the Trump administration?


DP. For the record, The Guardian reported on the drug warrant.


I don’t care if he was Jeffrey Dahmer. His character and past is not the point. By being white and foreign, he is bringing attention to the way immigration authorities in the US treat visa overstayers (overstaying your visa, even by decades, is not a crime under current US law) and to the abhorrent conditions in US detention centers.

The issue is not this particular man. It is the detention centers themselves. It is the overcrowding and unsanitary conditions. It is the behavior of the guards. It is the illegally long detentions. It is withholding food and medical care. It is the behavior of ICE and CBP.

Even if we were talking about a convicted criminal from Tren de Aragua (and you lied about that over and over and OVER with the Venezuelans in El Salvador, with the Chicago raid, every time LIE LIE LIE). But even if we were talking about a convicted criminals from Tren de Aragua or MS 13, our country has laws that need to be upheld. We have standards. Without them, we become "the worst of the worst" and some of us do not want that.

He is counting on rubes like you to take up his cause in order to prevent his deportation. Why do you think he is claiming to be tortured? To convince you that he is a victim.

You people are so damned gullible.


None of this changes the abuses from the Trump administration. Nor the lies. We don't believe you because you lie. And even if we did, you are still violating human rights and ignoring the law right and left. Ergo, you are wrong.

Speaking of gullible…”you people” voted for a reality TV star who pretends to be tanned, pretends to have a full head of hair, pretends to be a good businessman, pretends he is healthy, pretends to have a wife in the traditional sense of the word, pretends to care about anyone other than himself, and plays the role of president on TV.

He can probably throw up a gofundme and net enough donations from suckers to start up a new family somewhere else.

I love that this guy was supposed to be some kind of a cause because he was fighting the good fight.

It turns out what he is really terrified of is being met plane side in Ireland by some combination of the police, his baby momma, and his abandoned daughters.

Any guess how much child support he must owe back home?

You can bet that is going to be a real punch in the wallet, even for a drug dealer…

Additionally, people from his hometown are writing that he had a partner and twins who he abandoned when he fled to the United States.

I want to know if his wife is going to still be supporting him. Well, that is if she really is truly his wife and not someone he paid to get a green card.




You’re just trying to use side issues to distract from the fact that ICE is putting people who haven’t had any kind of orderly judicial review in concentration camps, without any regular independent oversight.



He was offered a flight back to Ireland. He doesn’t have to stay in the camp.

I think this was a case of "but, I'm white.. they'll let me out soon".

I'll say again

PSA: people who have overstayed their visas in the past should get out *NOW*, otherwise, you risk being put in a torture camp. Staying in this country really isn't worth that risk.


None of this gives the U.S. the right to violate civil rights. The U.S. must not legally or morally HAVE "torture camps."

? did I say it did? This is the reality on the ground. How many people are sitting in those torture camps even if they shouldn't be? 100% it's wrong, but it's better to be back from where they came from than sit in these camps.


You are advocating that people, who may or may not actully have a right to stay after due process figures out their facts and status, should leave based on fear because our current administration is violating the Consititution. That's backward.

Our immigration process has long sufferred from a lack of court resources (which Trump made worse), which is why people languish in status limbo for years. Fix the problem by increasing capacity to process. There is no good reason for this country not to have a process in place to rapidly adjudicate and process immigrants.

Yes, I am saying people who have had removal orders or overstayed their visas in the past should leave now. The alternative is to risk being imprisoned with the current administration. Is it right what Trump's admin is doing? No. There's a special place in hell for ICE agents right now. Even the folks who were eventually released by ICE spent time in these torture camps. Would you risk it? I sure as hell wouldn't.

When the Nazis were starting to target Jews, some Jews stayed thinking that it would eventually be over. That didn't work out as they thought, either.

Also, right now, the DOJ and DHS are lawless and aren't following court orders. So again, I would not risk it.
