Irish comedy writer Linehan says he was detained as soon as he disembarked a plane coming in from Arizona, and was “arrested at the airport like a terrorist”.
The 57-year-old says he was arrested over three tweets and “laughed” in shock when he was informed.
Releasing the audio of his arrest on his Substack blog, a police officer could be heard telling him: “It is alleged that on the 19th April 2025 you published a post on X intended to instill hatred and incite violence.”
After being told he is under arrest for the posts on X, a furious Linehan shouts: “It’s just disgraceful.
“Holy s**t, I don’t f***ing believe it. I’m under arrest!? I’m going to sue you into the ground. How dare you?”
