British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the US, DHS says

DHS said Yiannopoulos overstayed a visa and will remain in federal custody pending removal after an immigration judge ordered deportation.

  • On Saturday, U.S. officials confirmed that British provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was deported to the United Kingdom after his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Thursday.
  • The Department of Homeland Security stated Yiannopoulos entered the country legally on May 14, 2019, but "chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws," leading to a removal order issued July 22 after he missed an immigration hearing.
  • Yiannopoulos had frequently advocated for aggressive immigration enforcement on social media, calling for "total legal immunity for ICE agents" in September 2025 and ICE checkpoints in California.
  • Under President Donald Trump, DHS is enforcing a mandate ensuring "aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport," reversing Biden-era policies.
  • Before his deportation, Yiannopoulos built a career as a Breitbart News senior editor, a 2022 intern for Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a staffer for Kanye West's 2024 presidential campaign.
