Milo Yiannopoulos has found himself at the centre of an extraordinary immigration controversy after the British far-right commentator was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and deported to the United Kingdom, despite previously advocating some of the country's harshest immigration policies.
Yiannopoulos was arrested at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on 27 August after US immigration authorities determined that he had overstayed his visa and failed to attend an immigration hearing. The Department of Homeland Security said he had entered the United States legally in May 2019 but was later issued a final order of removal on 22 July.
