On August 30, US authorities announced the deportation of former Trump ally Milo Yiannopoulos to his native Britain, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. The 41-year-old right-wing commentator, who previously supported former President Donald Trump, overstayed his visa after arriving in the United States in 2019.
Yiannopoulos, a controversial figure known for his support of free speech and anti-political correctness, was arrested at New Orleans International Airport on Thursday and deported the following day. He had previously faced criticism for his perceived racism and misogyny. In July, he received a final order of removal after missing his immigration hearing.
Breitbart News, a right-wing US news outlet where Yiannopoulos wrote, reported on his arrest, with Laura Loomer, a right-wing influencer, claiming credit for initially identifying Yiannopoulos as being in the US illegally and inciting violence against Trump.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, responsible for enforcing Trump's anti-immigration policies, has been the subject of controversy for its methods. In January, federal agents killed two American citizens during protests against immigration enforcement raids in Minneapolis. Yiannopoulos had recently defended ICE agents, stating that they should be granted total legal immunity while on duty, as he posted on X in September 2025.
