Keith Byrne from Fermoy in Cork was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in America last Wednesday.  He was imprisoned in the US “without warning” by immigration officials and has spent almost 10 years working to secure his citizenship in Philadelphia.  He now faces being deported back to Ireland leaving his children without their father and his wife without her husband.

Well, to look at the status of the Irish living in America, Ivan was joined by Billy Lawless, Senator for the Diaspora and ​Bruce A. Morrison, a former Congressman from Connecticut and sponsor of the Morrison visas.
