Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Milo Yiannopoulos has now arrived in the United Kingdom after being deported from the United States, following his detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the removal, drawing attention because Yiannopoulos has publicly advocated restrictive immigration policies and mass deportations.
DHS said Yiannopoulos entered the US legally in 2019 but overstayed his permission and failed to attend an immigration hearing after an immigration judge issued a final removal order on 22 July. He was arrested at New Orleans airport on Thursday, held overnight and deported on Friday; reports said he arrived in Britain on Saturday. His detention and removal prompted public reactions from several right-wing figures, including Laura Loomer and Enrique Tarrio.
- Yiannopoulos has been deported from the US to Britain.
- DHS says he overstayed and missed an immigration hearing.
- His removal drew attention given his anti-immigration stance.
