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.\n\nYiannopoulos 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.",
