Milo Yiannopoulos Expresses Regret Over Supporting Trump After ICE Detention

Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right commentator, stated in an interview with Piers Morgan that he feels "very ashamed" of his past support for President Donald Trump. This interview follows Yiannopoulos's recent detention by ICE agents in Louisiana, after which he was deported back to the United Kingdom. During the interview, Yiannopoulos reflected on the changes in Trump's administration over the past decade, expressing disappointment in its direction. He remarked, "To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016 could, sort of, over the course of 10 years, collapse into this ugly, warmongering, whole mentally ill heap of crazy – with some of the most unstable and lunatic people, seemingly directing the President’s actions!" He admitted to previously supporting ICE actions but suggested that they should focus on violent criminals and drug dealers. Yiannopoulos claimed that he was not informed about issues regarding his work visa and faced difficulties while in custody, describing the experience as humiliating and frightening. He also mentioned that he applied for a Green Card in 2017 after marrying an American. Additionally, he criticized Laura Loomer, a vocal Trump supporter, for her actions against him, stating that he had previously considered working with her but found her approach problematic. Yiannopoulos concluded that he no longer identifies with the right-wing provocateur label and now manages lawyers for a living.
