US says far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported to UK
Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported to the United Kingdom by U.S. authorities. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed his removal on Saturday, stating he was apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Thursday. Yiannopoulos had overstayed his visa, entering the U.S. in May 2019. A judge had previously issued a final order for his removal on July 22 after he missed an immigration hearing. The DHS encouraged individuals in the country illegally to self-deport to avoid arrest and deportation. Yiannopoulos has not publicly commented on his deportation.
