Fans of Taylor Swift have been shocked after it emerged that a contractor for the controversial Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was in attendance at her wedding.

It appears that Steven J. Demetriou, the Executive Chair of a company called Amentum Services was also among the crowd gathered to see the happy couple say ‘I do.’

Amentum Services is currently the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana, a detention centre in El Paso.

The artist has faced swift backlash for her choice of guests, including online commenters who have shared their dismay on social media.

    Out of 1000 people invited to the wedding, the adoptive father of Travis Kelce 's childhood friend is an objectively evil person. Has there ever been a wedding in the world without one total dick that had to be invited because of some family obligation? Does anyone do in-depth investigations of all the plus-ones? Besides the journalists searching for celebrity dirt to exploit after the fact, that is.

      If I was a billionaire pop-star with a reputation to preserve, I would.

      I guarantee you every single person who was invited at Taylor Swift’s wedding was personally vetted by her. Nobody there was there by mistake.

      I’m not a pop star or anything, but the number of my husband’s friends’ parents who were invited to our wedding was zero.

      Did these people run out of actual friends and family to invite? That’s sad.
