Milo Yiannopoulos, a British political commentator, has been deported from the United States after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Yiannopoulos, 41, was deported on Friday. A DHS spokesperson stated that Yiannopoulos, described as 'an illegal alien from the United Kingdom,' was sent 'back to his home country.' Yiannopoulos, known for his provocative statements, had previously advocated for stricter immigration controls. He was arrested on August 27 after arriving at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Yiannopoulos entered the US in May 2019 and overstayed his visa, according to the DHS. He has made controversial statements regarding immigration, including calls for 'total legal immunity for ICE agents' and 'on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally.' Yiannopoulos was an early supporter of Donald Trump during the 2016 election but has since criticized him while still supporting his agenda. He has faced backlash for his comments on various social issues and was previously disinvited from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2017 due to controversial remarks. Laura Loomer, a far-right commentator, claimed credit for Yiannopoulos's arrest, stating that he is now banned from returning to the US.
