Laura Loomer Applauds Milo Yiannopoulos ICE Bust — and Demands DOJ Go After MTG Next

Trump loyalist Laura Loomer celebrated the ICE arrest of right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on Friday before using his detention to demand the Justice Department investigate another longtime foe, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Yiannopoulos, the British political activist and former Breitbart editor, was detained by immigration authorities in Louisiana, TMZ first reported Friday. The circumstances surrounding his detention were not immediately clear.

But Loomer quickly seized on the development, claiming she had previously reported Yiannopoulos twice to federal authorities:

Loomer followed up by renewing her feud with Greene and drawing attention to Yiannopoulos’ past ties to the former lawmaker, posting a photo of the pair together. She then accused Greene of “harboring” Yiannopoulos – whom she called an “illegal alien” and called for a Department of Justice investigation.

“I’m calling on the DOJ and AG Todd Blanche to investigate disgraced former Congresswoman Marjorie Traitor Greene for hiring and harboring illegal alien Milo Yiannopoulos, who is now in ICE custody after I reported Milo to ICE and the FBI last year and in 2024, when he called for me to be assassinated and openly supported Hamas and the Ayatollah while on an expired visa,” Loomer wrote on X.

Loomer, who has publicly feuded with Greene for years, followed her call for a Justice Department investigation with a series of allegations accusing her rival of secretly working with Yiannopoulos to “attack and sabotage” President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

“MTG spent her time in Congress pretending to be against illegal immigration while she had Milo working for her and living with her,” Loomer alleged. “I’ve been reporting on the collusion between Milo and MTG for years.”

Yiannopoulos worked as an unpaid intern for Greene in 2022. He has also maintained ties to other figures on the political right, serving as Kanye West’s chief of staff until 2024 and his director of political operations during the rapper’s failed presidential bid.
