ICE pushed back on claims of 'torture' made by an Irishman detained for overstaying his visa, insisting the United States remains 'a nation of law and order.' Speaking to Ireland's RTÉ radio earlier this week, Culleton described the detention center as 'torture' and said he is 'in fear for my life here.' Just months later, authorities issued another warrant relating to an alleged criminal damage case from September 2007. The conditions at the camp were ‘filthy,’ the toilets and showers ‘nasty,’ and illnesses were rampant among those being detained, Culleton told the outlet. I've been locked in the same room now for four and a half months,' Culleton told RTÉ's Liveline program.
