British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos detained by ICE

DHS said Yiannopoulos overstayed a visa he used to enter the United States in 2019 and faces a final order of removal.

  • Milo Yiannopoulos, a British right-wing commentator, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for overstaying his visa after legally entering the U.S. in May 2019.
  • An immigration judge issued a final removal order for Yiannopoulos on July 22, 2026, after he failed to appear at his immigration hearing; he remains in custody pending deportation.
  • Yiannopoulos worked closely with rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, serving as his chief of staff and political director, which likely explained his presence in Louisiana before Ye's concert.
  • Yiannopoulos is known as a provocative far-right figure with conservative views and a history of controversies.
