Huh, the headline is very misleading but the article says this:

> Culleton entered the US in 2009 on a visa waiver programme and overstayed the 90 day-limit

> Culleton said that when he was arrested he was carrying a Massachusetts driving licence and a valid work permit issued as part of an application for a green card that he initiated in April 2025

That's about 15 years of illegal stay according to "the facts in the article".
