He had planned to return to Ireland in December, but was briefly unable to fly due to a health issue, his medical records show. He was only three days overdue to leave the US when an encounter with police landed him in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody.

From there, what should have been a minor incident became a nightmarish ordeal: he was detained by Ice in three different facilities, ultimately spending roughly 100 days behind bars with little understanding of why he was being held – or when he’d get out.

Must be another one of those poor little "accidents" because forcing a man who overstayed by 3 days to then stay 100 extra days in America makes more sense than just putting him on the nearest flight back to Ireland. In all seriousness, they simply want to be cruel and nothing more, they could have easily put him on a flight to Ireland but instead decide to be cunts for 100 days.

The World Cup drama will be something else, I wonder how many drunken Football fans will accidentally overstay, Lol.
