Milo Yiannopoulos held in US immigration custody, ICE records show

British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been listed in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records as detained in Louisiana, the agency’s inmate registry indicates. His name and British origins appear in a nationwide detainee search, while neither ICE nor Yiannopoulos have responded to requests for comment.

Yiannopoulos, 41, a former Breitbart editor and past employee of Kanye West, is recorded as residing in the United States after growing up in Kent, England. The available registry entry does not include further details on the circumstances of his detention.

Known for his vocal support of former President Donald Trump and for organizing Gays for Trump during the 2016 Republican National Convention, Yiannopoulos has publicly backed stricter immigration measures and posted in favour of expanded legal protections for ICE agents.

His public profile includes widely criticized statements about transgender people, Muslims, Black Lives Matter, feminists and gay communities; he has described himself previously as gay and more recently as “ex-gay.” He resigned from Breitbart in 2017 after footage surfaced that was interpreted as condoning paedophilia, an allegation he denied while saying he referred to his own childhood experiences.
