Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos detained in US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested the political commentator at an airport for overstaying his US visa.
Immigration authorities in the United States have detained right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, who is facing deportation, according to the Homeland Security Department. The spokesman described Yiannopoulos as an "illegal alien from the United Kingdom" and stated that he had overstayed his visa, arriving in the US in 2019.
Yiannopoulos, 41, was arrested at New Orleans International Airport on Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He had previously failed to appear for an immigration hearing and was issued a final order of removal on July 22. Yiannopoulos, who had been an early supporter of Donald Trump, has since fallen out with the Trump movement. He was widely accused of being racist and misogynistic during his time as a gay crusader for free speech.
In a recent X post, Yiannopoulos stated, "Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty." He will remain in ICE custody pending his removal.
