A far-right supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, Milo Yiannopoulos, was deported from the United States this week after failing to appear at an immigration hearing. Yiannopoulos, a British-born writer and commentator known for his controversial views, was arrested at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana on Thursday and deported to the UK on Friday. He had been in the U.S. since 2019 but overstayed his visa, violating immigration laws. Yiannopoulos, who has described himself as "the most fabulous supervillain on the internet," has long promoted alt-right ideologies on issues such as feminism, Islam, and immigration, and has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s strict immigration policies, despite being an immigrant himself. In his first interview since being deported, Yiannopoulos told Piers Morgan Uncensored that he was unprepared for the harsh treatment he faced during his arrest and detention. He described the experience as both physically and emotionally distressing, saying he had never been so frightened in his life. He recounted being chained like a gang member, subjected to repeated transfers between detention and correctional facilities, and denied information about his legal status. “I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America,” he said, adding that the experience was “humiliating, disorienting, and physically degrading.” A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Yiannopoulos had entered the country legally in 2019 but overstayed his visa. He was issued a final order of removal in July after failing to appear at an immigration hearing. He is currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and will be deported once arrangements are made. Yiannopoulos had been associated with the far-right website Breitbart in the early 2010s, where he was recruited by Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist. He left Breitbart in 2017 after a video resurfaced in which he appeared to endorse pedophilia, leading to public backlash. Yiannopoulos later apologized for the remarks and claimed he had been a victim of sexual assault as a child.
