British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE
DHS said the British commentator overstayed his visa and will remain in ICE custody pending removal after an immigration judge ordered deportation.
- On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained British commentator Milo Yiannopoulos at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport; he remains in custody at a Louisiana facility pending removal.

- Yiannopoulos previously demanded 'on the spot deportation' for undocumented individuals and wrote 'Zero immigration for the next 20 years' on social media last year, underscoring the irony of his detention.
- Far-Right activist Laura Loomer claimed credit on X, writing she was 'the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally' and calling the detention 'a great day for America'.
- Currently held at an Alexandria, Louisiana, facility used for deportation operations, Yiannopoulos remains in custody pending removal; legal representatives have not yet commented on challenging the July 22 removal order.
