Tommy Robinson, a far-right activist, has been arrested in Canada on suspicion of an immigration infraction.
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon, was detained on Monday before being freed. He said he was ordered to stay in the country and surrender his passport.
Footage shared online shows him shackled and brought to the rear of a waiting automobile.
A man who looked like a plain-clothes cop informed him that he was detained on an outstanding immigration warrant.

The 41-year-old said on X, formerly Twitter, “none of this makes sense; I’m now detained in Calgary, unable to leave the city; these conditions prevent me from continuing my tour of Canada and meeting with podcast guests.
I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home.
