Published On 29 Aug 202629 Aug 2026<\/p>\n

Milo Yiannopoulos<\/a>, a far-right provocateur who feuded with other right-wing content creators, has been deported to the United Kingdom, according to authorities in the United States.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Yiannopoulos\u2019s removal a day earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation\u2019s laws,\u201d the department posted on social media, in announcing Yiannopoulos\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

According to the department\u2019s statement<\/a>, Yiannopoulos was apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while travelling through the Louis Armstrong New Orleans international airport in Louisiana on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He entered the country through New York City in May 2019. After Yiannopoulos missed an immigration hearing earlier this year, a judge issued a final order for his removal on July 22.<\/p>\n

In announcing Yiannopoulos\u2019s detention on Friday, the DHS encouraged noncitizens who overstayed their visas to self-deport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d the department wrote. \u201cIf not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yiannopoulos has not publicly weighed in on his deportation, with his usually active social media account on X staying silent since his detention.<\/p>\n

But Yiannopoulos had formerly been an outspoken supporter of US President Donald Trump and the mass deportation campaign the Republican leader had pledged to undertake during his second term.<\/p>\n

\u201cZero immigration for the next 20 years. No ifs, no buts,\u201d Yiannopoulos wrote in a social media post last year.<\/p>\n

Known for his attacks on feminism, immigrants and Muslims, Yiannopoulos is believed to have been in New Orleans this week as part of his work with musician Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.<\/p>\n

Far-right activist and Islamophobe Laura Loomer<\/a>, a Trump ally, has celebrated Yiannopoulos\u2019s removal after calling for his deportation.<\/p>\n

She has often used her social media platform to call on the Trump administration to take action against specific individuals. Loomer and Yiannopoulos have been feuding for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMilo is going to be deported back to the UK where he can live among the Muslims he has recently chosen to embrace,\u201d Loomer said in a social media post on Friday. \u201cToday is a great day for America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loomer also called for leftist streamer Hasan Piker, who has been critical of Israel, to be deported as well. Piker, however, is a US citizen.<\/p>\n
