Milo Yiannopoulos Detained by ICE in Louisiana
The longtime far-right operator and troll, a UK citizen, is being held in a detention center about 200 miles from New Orleans.
ICE detained Milo Yiannopoulos in Louisiana, though the specific detention facility remains unknown. Family and legal representatives should reach out to the Enforcement and Removal Office in Alexandria, Louisiana for further information. TMZ initially reported Yiannopoulos' detention, which comes after a history of controversial remarks.
He previously worked at Breitbart and faced backlash over his comments about sexual activity between adults and young adolescent boys. In 2022, Yiannopoulos claimed to have organized an event at Mar-a-Lago aimed at derailing Donald Trump's political career. He has worked with right-wing figures such as Nick Fuentes and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and even served as a spokesman for Kanye West.
Yiannopoulos' immigration status has been questioned, as he has never been a US citizen and held an O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary abilities. Despite his claims of becoming heterosexual and Roman Catholic in 2021, Yiannopoulos remains a vocal figure in MAGA politics.
