Milo Yiannopoulos 'Ashamed' of Supporting Trump After His ICE Deportation
Milo Yiannopoulos denounces Trump after a harsh ICE detention he calls politically driven and unlawfully executed.
Milo Yiannopoulos is expressing regret over his previous support for President Donald Trump, following his deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Yiannopoulos alleged that his arrest was politically motivated and described the process as chaotic, abusive, and illegal. He claimed to have overstayed a 2019 visa and failed to attend a July immigration hearing, but ICE argues that all notices were sent to the address he provided, which he had abandoned nearly a decade ago.
DHS spokesman stated that Yiannopoulos was deported because he broke U.S. laws and failed to appear in immigration proceedings, emphasizing that his swift deportation was standard under the Trump administration. Yiannopoulos, currently back in the UK, plans to appeal his deportation, arguing that his case reveals serious irregularities.
He also denounced his past support for Trump, describing the 2016 election as a tragic collapse of hope and potential into an "ugly, warmongering, mentally ill heap of crazy."
