British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE
ICE's parent agency, the US Department of Homeland Security, said Yiannopoulos, 41, was arrested on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, according to records. The 41-year-old has a history of controversial statements, including calls for supermarket ICE checkpoints and deportation of those who cannot prove legal US residency.
Yiannopoulos was arrested on Thursday and is subject to a final order of removal, despite legally entering the US in May 2019 through New York City. His current status regarding legal representation and response to the detention has not been disclosed. Separately, Allison Alon, a transgender Israeli woman and former IDF intelligence technology specialist, was released on parole from an American prison and subsequently arrested by ICE in New Hampshire. Alon, previously known by her birth name Avishay, is now facing possible deportation.
