(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and is facing deportation, ICE announced Friday.
“Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York,” ICE said on Twitter/X.
“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.”
Yiannopoulos, who is from the United Kingdom, was once a rising star in the U.S. conservative movement as a flamboyant pro-Trump homosexual. His career was derailed around 2017, when a video of him condoning pedophilia surfaced. Yiannopoulos was canceled as a CPAC speaker as a result, and was largely ostracized by mainstream conservative groups thereafter.
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 currently works for rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye. CBS News reported Friday that he was detained in Louisiana ahead of a Ye concert scheduled there that night.
