He had a rousing career in the American far-right and advocated for aggressive immigration enforcement – ICE just deported him

British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has just been deported back to the United Kingdom, one day after his arrest. It is a significant turn for the controversial figure who spent years advocating for strict immigration enforcement in the United States. The deportation process concluded on Friday, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained him at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

According to Reuters, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the deportation on Saturday. Yiannopoulos, 41, was taken into custody on Thursday at the airport in Louisiana. According to federal officials, he had entered the country legally back in May 2019 but failed to maintain his legal status. A spokesperson for the DHS stated, “He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.”
