Far-right British provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported after his immigration arrest in US

British far-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos was deported from the United States on Saturday, according to U.S. officials. The deportation came following his arrest by American immigration authorities in Louisiana.

Yiannopoulos entered the U.S. legally in May 2019 but overstayed his visa. A final order of removal was issued by an immigration judge on July 22 after he missed his court appearance.

He was apprehended on Thursday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for detention. Yiannopoulos has a history of controversial stances, often espousing conservative views and criticizing various social justice movements.

His deportation marks the end of his legal stay in the U.S.
