Milo Yiannopoulos Deported After Years of Advocating for Deportations
A final order of removal was issued in July by an immigration judge after Yiannopoulos failed to show up for a hearing.
Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right commentator with connections to President Donald Trump and Kanye West, was recently deported from the United States by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday. The spokesperson confirmed that Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, was taken into custody and deported back to his home country.
Yiannopoulos has been a vocal advocate for ICE and deportation policies. In a June 2025 post to X, he suggested the installation of ICE checkpoints at various public places across California, with immediate deportation for those unable to prove their legal status in the U.S. In a 2016 interview with Joe Rogan, he expressed support for deportation but added that he meant bad immigrants, emphasizing his perspective on cultural differences rather than individual characteristics like attractiveness or success.
Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. He had legally entered the U.S. on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York, but chose to overstay his welcome, violating U.S. laws. An immigration judge issued a final order of removal on July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to appear for an immigration hearing.
The DHS spokesperson emphasized that the administration is reversing the Biden-era policy that allowed illegal aliens to move freely within the country. Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate illegal immigration, according to the spokesperson. This development marks a significant shift in the country's immigration enforcement approach.
