SINGAPORE: Singaporean Amos Yee is in the custody of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after he was released on parole from prison less than a week ago.
Yee, 27, is currently held at Dodge Detention Facility in Juneau, Wisconsin, according to checks on the ICE detainee database on Monday (Nov 24).
On Nov 20, Yee was released on parole from Danville Correctional Center, Illinois, where he had been serving time for possession of child pornography and grooming a child.
According to ICE, people are detained to “secure their presence for immigration proceedings or removal” from the country.
They may also be taken into custody if ICE determines they are a “public safety or flight risk” during the custody determination process.
