Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos deported to U.K. one day after ICE arrest
DHS said Yiannopoulos overstayed a visa he received in 2019 and was removed after an immigration judge issued a final order of removal.
- On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport; he was deported to the United Kingdom on Friday, August 28.
- An immigration judge issued a final removal order on July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to attend a hearing, following his 2019 legal entry and subsequent visa overstay.
- The Department of Homeland Security touted the arrest to promote its voluntary departure program, offering $3,000 and a free flight to undocumented immigrants choosing to self-deport.
- Activist Laura Loomer claimed credit for reporting Yiannopoulos to authorities, highlighting the irony of his detention given his past calls for 'on the spot deportation' of anyone lacking legal status.
- This arrest coincides with a nationwide uptick in detentions as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, with ICE increasingly targeting foreign nationals at domestic airports.
