NEW: "This is a violation of his constitutional right," Sen. Bong Go , a close Duterte ally, tells reporters.

Rodrigo Duterte was arrested after arriving from Hong Kong and police took him into custody.

The International Criminal Court has been investigating a case of crime against humanity filed against him.

The arrest warrant sent by the ICC to Philippine officials says there are "reasonable grounds to believe" the attack on victims "was both widespread and systematic".
