The U.S. immigration authorities, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), deported right-wing blogger Milo Yiannopoulos back to his home country, the United Kingdom.

ICE officers had detained him at the New Orleans International Airport on Thursday, citing that he had exceeded his permitted stay in the United States.

The U.S. immigration agency ICE deported the far-right blogger Milo Yiannopoulos after his residency permit expired. Yiannopoulos had previously supported ICE, advocating for increased immigration control measures such as checkpoints at supermarkets, gas stations, and government buildings. He entered the U.S. legally in May 2019 but remained in the country after his visa lapsed. After failing to attend a hearing, an immigration judge issued a final deportation order on July 22. Yiannopoulos was known for spreading hate speech against women, Black people, elites, and liberals. His association with rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) also drew attention, as Ye has faced criticism for racist and antisemitic remarks. ICE, part of the Department of Homeland Security, has been criticized for conducting mass raids on undocumented migrants often without legal justification.
