Trump ‘border czar’ denies Milo Yiannopoulos was deported quickly to spare him from ICE detention

White House "border czar" Tom Homan denied that the swift deportation of British commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, one day after his arrest by ICE, constituted preferential treatment. Homan stated that Yiannopoulos had overstayed his visitor visa, missed an immigration hearing, and received a final removal order from a federal judge on July 22nd. ICE's role, according to Homan, was to execute this order efficiently, a process the Department of Homeland Security is working to expedite for all individuals. DHS had publicized Yiannopoulos's arrest at a New Orleans airport, and he was confirmed deported to the UK on Friday, the day after his apprehension. Homan also indicated that while many people report immigration violations, Yiannopoulos's removal was based solely on the judge's order.

‘GB News wouldn’t touch him’: Milo Yiannopoulos will struggle to fit in with UK right wing

Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has returned to the UK after being deported from the US for overstaying his visa. Once a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, Yiannopoulos is now considered too extreme for mainstream UK right-wing outlets like GB News, which stated they "wouldn't touch him." Reform UK is also unlikely to accept him. While some niche figures have found independent platforms after controversies, Yiannopoulos faces challenges finding a significant role. He has, however, praised Rupert Lowe, leader of the party Restore Britain, which has accepted individuals deemed too extreme for Reform. Yiannopoulos's deportation was reportedly initiated after an expired visa, with some influencers claiming to have reported him to immigration enforcement.
