Corsi is being held in Kenya while his immigration status is checked, the Associated Press reported, citing Carlos Maluta, a senior immigration official.

The American author was in Kenya to launch his book. Kenya is where Sen. Barack Obama's father hailed from and the senator from Illinois is beloved there.

Officials are holding him at Nairobi's immigration headquarters until they decide what to do with him, Maluta told AP.
