It's in the legal filings: https://www.universalhub.com/files/attachments/2026/culleton...

"Culleton concedes he is removable under the VWP. Reply 10."

He came to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program, which is limited to 90 days, back in 2009.

And yet neither has he been removed nor has he been granted access to a trial.

I also like these parts:

> Culleton testified that he did not sign the Notice nor did he write “I’m married to a citizen and have a work permit” on it.

> Secore testified that he remembered serving the Notice on Culleton, but not watching Culleton sign it.

> Secore also testified that the paperwork was riddled with mistaken dates because of the way ICE’s computer system operates.

> Secore testified that he should have caught those errors when processing the paperwork, but that he “missed” them.

What do you think that proves?

It proves that my tax dollars are wasted on whoever is running this sloppy process and the crappy private prison.

It’s one thing to not be bothered by constitutional violations, it’s a whole another thing to be ok with squandering our tax dollars.

Which is to say, he came here legally with a 90 day visa. Not illegally as you stated previously.
