British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States to the UK, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The 41-year-old, a former Breitbart News editor and Kanye West political aide, was detained at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on August 27th. DHS spokesperson stated that Yiannopoulos, considered an "illegal alien from the United Kingdom," was being "sent back to his home country."
Known for advocating stricter immigration controls and often courting controversy, Yiannopoulos has previously called for the deportation of millions of people without legal status and advocated for the on-the-spot deportation of those unable to prove legal presence in the US. Despite identifying as gay, he has made inflammatory comments about transgender individuals, Muslims, Black Lives Matter activists, feminists, and gay people, describing himself as an "ex-gay."
Yiannopoulos, who grew up in Kent, had been arrested for overstaying his visa and was barred from re-entering the United States.
