US Deports Right-Wing Commentator Milo Yiannopoulos to Britain
DHS said he entered legally in 2019, missed a hearing and was removed after an immigration judge issued a final order on July 22.
- Activist Milo Yiannopoulos was deported to the United Kingdom on Friday following his arrest by ICE at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana on Thursday for overstaying his visa.
- Immigration authorities stated Yiannopoulos entered the United States legally in May 2019 but subsequently overstayed his visa, prompting a final order of removal issued July 22 after he missed a mandatory hearing.
- His arrest occurred amid a nationwide uptick in detentions as part of President Trump's immigration crackdown, with The Department posting a booking photo of the commentator on social media afterward.
- Officials encourage individuals in the country illegally to leave voluntarily, offering "$3,000 and a free flight to self-deport," while warning that those refusing face arrest and deportation without chance to return.
- Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart editor known for provocative positions on Islam and immigrants, has not posted publicly since Thursday, and representatives declined to comment on his removal from the United States.
