  "summary": "Milo Yiannopoulos, a British far-right commentator, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. According to the US Department of Homeland Security, Yiannopoulos had overstayed his welcome in the US, having entered the country legally in May 2019 through New York City.\n\nAn immigration judge issued a final order of removal on July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to show up for his immigration hearing. The Department of Homeland Security described Yiannopoulos as having \"chosen to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws.\"\n\nYiannopoulos, 41, is a well-known champion of conservative causes and has frequently taken provocative public positions. His current whereabouts are not specified, but ICE's online detainee locator directs family and legal representatives to the agency's office in Alexandria, Louisiana. It is unclear whether Yiannopoulos has obtained legal representation.",
