Far-right British media figure Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States to the United Kingdom, according to a statement from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday. The 41-year-old Yiannopoulos was arrested on Thursday at New Orleans International Airport by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstaying his authorized stay in the country.
He had legally entered the US in May 2019 from New York City but failed to appear for his immigration hearing, leading to his final order of removal on July 22nd. Yiannopoulos, a former editor of Breitbart News, has been a vocal supporter of ICE and the immediate deportation of undocumented individuals. He was reportedly headed to a Kanye West concert in New Orleans when he was detained, as West's 2024 White House campaign and Yiannopoulos' professional ties were linked at the time.
