Milo Yiannopoulos, a 41-year-old British far-right commentator, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is awaiting deportation.

He was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on July 22 after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Thursday. The Department of Homeland Security described him as "an illegal alien from the United Kingdom".
Yiannopoulos, a former editor of Breitbart News and onetime political aide to rapper Kanye West, has been a strong supporter of Donald Trump's harsh immigration policies, despite having largely fallen out with the Trump movement. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.
