Note: Infowars reporters were also detained and searched at the scene.
Lauren Southern, the investigative journalist and Donald Trump supporter who called out Facebook for censoring conservative views, was detained by police outside this year’s Bilderberg conference.
Southern was in Dresden, Germany, site of this year’s meeting, attempting to report on the secretive annual gathering of “political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.”
