British right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Yiannopoulos, 41, a former editor of Breitbart News and onetime political aide to rapper Kanye West, was deported on Friday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Yiannopoulos, “an illegal alien from the United Kingdom” had been sent “back to his home country”, a DHS spokesperson said in a statement given to the BBC.
The self-styled provocateur has called himself the “most fabulous supervillain on the internet”. His critics call him a purveyor of hate speech.
Yiannopoulos, who grew up in Kent in the south of England, was arrested on 27 August after arriving at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
He flew into the US in May 2019 and “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws”, the DHS said.
Milo appears to be having a really bad day. It was self-inflicted so I don’t have much sympathy for him.
I found him to be entertaining. But I expect he will not be in the mood to entertain for a while.
The above really got my attention because just a few days ago John Schussler said:
We have a white nationalist in the white house (ironic) who’s very very interested in getting the non-white people out and thus making the immigration process, including asylum, as difficult as possible. For the non-white people, anyway, white south africans get a free pass.
Removing people here illegally is removing people here illegally. Their race doesn’t matter to almost anyone on the right. They are here illegally, so they need to be removed.
But John appeared to be unconvinced. Milo is a just a single data point in contradiction to John’s assertion, but it is a significant point because of Milo’s celebrity status.
