DHS publicized the New Orleans airport arrest of a Trump-era deportation advocate who overstayed a 2019 visa.
The Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that ICE deported British commentator Milo Yiannopoulos to the United Kingdom on Friday, a day after agents arrested him at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. DHS said he legally entered through New York in May 2019, overstayed, missed a hearing, and received a final removal order on July 22. Outlets note he had urged mass deportations and ICE checkpoints; Laura Loomer claimed credit for flagging his status. Conservative allies feud over even-handed enforcement versus score-settling.
