Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE
The British citizen, who lives and works in the US, has supported Trump and ICE agents in the past.
Milo Yiannopoulos, the right-wing commentator, has reportedly been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Agency records indicate the British political commentator, known for his outspoken support of US President Donald Trump, is being held.
According to a search of ICE's inmate registry, Yiannopoulos, 41, is believed to be in Louisiana. He previously served as an editor for the right-wing US website Breitbart and was employed by rapper Kanye West.
Yiannopoulos, who refers to himself as the "most fabulous supervillain on the internet," has been criticized by others who label him a promoter of hate speech.
While neither ICE nor Yiannopoulos have responded to the BBC's request for comment, his name and British nationality are present in a nationwide search of detainees.
