  "account": "British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was deported back to his home country after being arrested in the United States for overstaying his visa, U.S. officials announced on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security stated that Yiannopoulos was returned to the U.K. on Friday following his failure to appear for an immigration hearing after his arrest on Thursday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana. An immigration judge issued the final order of removal on July 22, according to a Homeland Security spokesperson. Yiannopoulos, known for his controversial views and support of President Donald Trump's immigration policies, was arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday. The spokesperson emphasized that Yiannopoulos \"chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws.\" Yiannopoulos has been involved in various controversies over the years, including a video in 2017 where he endorsed pedophilia, for which he later apologized. His arrest and deportation occur amidst a surge in detentions as part of Trump's immigration enforcement crackdown.",
