Right-Wing Agitator Milo Yiannopoulos Deported Back to Britain: Report

Associated Press

Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported back to his home country of Great Britain by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yiannopoulos, a far-right agitator who advocated for ICE deportations, was sent packing on Friday following his arrest, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents plucked Milo from a holding facility in Louisiana and transported him to an airport in another state so he could take a flight back to the UK,” TMZ reported Saturday.

“We’re told ICE got confirmation from UK authorities that Milo’s back on his home turf after he stepped off the plane,” the report said.

The 41-year-old Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE agents in New Orleans on Thursday for allegedly remaining in the United States after his visa ran out. He was transferred to a holding facility in Louisiana in anticipation of his deportation.

DHS posted to X:

On August 27, ICE arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.

Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.

Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

Right wing agitator Laura Loomer, who used to work with Yiannopoulos, claimed credit for his deportation and said she’d twice reported him to DHS.
