The bombastic former Breitbart News editor was apprehended in Louisiana at an airport, according to TMZ, but the circumstances behind his detention were not immediately clear.

The 41-year-old Brit served as an unpaid summer intern for former US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2022, and worked on West’s stunt 2024 White House bid, serving as his director of political operations.

He famously arranged a sit-down dinner between President Trump and the “Heartless” rapper, which was also attended by white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Now he gets to experience the injustice he helped bring upon others. I hope he gets the full treatment of a long uncomfortable incarceration, in a cold cell, maggoty food, drinking toilet water, getting deathly ill with no medical treatment, living with people who don't speak English, but will quickly discover that he helped build this system that has destroyed their lives and families.

He's going to have a great time. I hope it lasts.
