BREAKING: Far-Right Pundit Milo Yiannopoulos Detained by ICE

British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by ICE agents in Louisiana, according to a report from TMZ.

The report read:

The controversial political personality is currently being held at an ICE detention center, per inmate records. The circumstances surrounding his detention are not yet clear but our sources tell us Milo was detained at an airport.

Yiannapoulous, a former Breitbart columnist, has moved between political circles in the U.S. over the last several years. As noted by TMZ, he served as Kanye West’s chief of staff until 2024 and was even the director of political operations for West’s failed presidential bid.

Two years earlier, Yiannapoulous was hired as an unpaid intern for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). He later found himself in hot water when he used one of Greene’s campaign credit cards to pay for the domain for West’s own campaign site.

Most recently, Yiannapoulous was the target of fellow right-wing pundit Benny Johnson’s ire. Johnson threatened to sue Yiannapoulous after he claimed Johnson slept with boys at political conferences.
