British far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, who has called for supermarket ICE checkpoints and summary deportation of anyone failing to prove legal US residency, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, agency records showed on Friday.
ICE’s parent agency, the US Department of Homeland Security, said Yiannopoulos, 41, was arrested on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and is subject to a final order of removal.
According to DHS, Yiannopoulos legally entered the US in May 2019 through New York City but “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws.”
Yiannopoulos was not immediately available for comment and it was not known whether he has obtained legal representation.
