Voynov Taken Into Immigration Custody After Release from Jail

Earlier this afternoon, the Los Angeles Times' Nathan Fenno (who has done an admirable job covering this case since last October) broke the news that Slava Voynov has moved on from the Seal Beach Police Detention Center to an "unspecified detention facility." He is now under the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

After Voynov's release in Seal Beach, ICE took him into custody and is holding the Russian citizen at an unspecified detention facility pending a hearing by an immigration judge, an agency spokeswoman said Thursday.

Because of the violent nature of Voynov's legal entanglement — which brought him to the attention of ICE in the first place — the agency didn't set a bond.
