A well-known Donegal man living illegally in Boston has been deported to Ireland, over two weeks after his arrest.
John Cunningham (38) left Boston on a commercial flight Wednesday night, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Shawn Neudauer told the Boston Herald.
Mr Cunningham, from Glencolmcille, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on June 15, for “immigration violations”.
His deportation has heightened concern among the sizeable community of undocumented Irish living under the Trump regime, according to the Boston Herald today.
The city’s Irish community is now worried about further deportations, an advocate told the Boston Herald.
Mr Cunningham emigrated from Co Donegal, to Boston in February 2000 and had previously appeared in an RTÉ ‘Prime Time’ documentary on the undocumented Irish.
