Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is currently in ICE custody, the agency's database shows.
Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right political commentator of British origin, is currently detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as per the agency's online detainee database. Reports suggest Yiannopoulos was in New Orleans prior to a concert featuring Kanye West, whose current stage name is Ye. TMZ was the first to report on Yiannopoulos' custody status, and CBS News has contacted the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for further information.
Yiannopoulos has a history of aligning himself with ICE's immigration enforcement policies, and has previously advocated for ICE checkpoints at various public locations. In a June 2025 social media post, he called for total legal immunity for ICE agents while on duty.
