Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE

Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in the United States.

He was apprehended in New Orleans but is currently being held in a Louisiana ICE holding facility, according to US officials.

It’s believed Mr Yiannopoulos came to America legally in 2019 but “chose to overstay his welcome, violating national laws”.

He was given a final removal order by an immigration judge on July 22 after failing to show for his immigration hearing.
