ICE Detains Milo Yiannopoulos in Louisiana – According to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement records, Milo Yiannopoulos, a British national known for his nearly continual reinventions as a vizier inside far-right American politics for more than ten years, has been held in Louisiana.
The ICE directory advises any family members or legal representatives to get in touch with the Enforcement and Removal Office in Alexandria, Louisiana, a processing center for the central region of the state that is roughly 200 miles from New Orleans, even though it is unclear which detention facility Yiannopoulos is currently being held in.
Yiannopoulos’ deportation was not immediately announced by ICE or the Department of Homeland Security.
Yiannopoulos’ incarceration was initially reported by TMZ. He has never been a US citizen, but he has lived and worked in the US in the past, purportedly on an O-1 visa, which is intended for people with exceptional talent in the arts, sciences, and other fields, including media.
From 2014 to 2017, Yiannopoulos worked for the right-wing website Breitbart, where he first became involved in US politics. His comments regarding sexual relations between adults and young adolescent boys, which he claimed may be “perfectly consensual,” caused him to resign from his position. He has been in and out of right-wing circles for years. In 2022, he claimed to have set up an infamous meal at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump, Kanye West, and white supremacist Nick Fuentes “to make Trump’s life miserable.” ICE Detains Milo Yiannopoulos in Louisiana
In 2017, Yiannopoulos wed his long-term partner in Hawaii. However, in 2021, he declared that he had converted to Roman Catholicism and heterosexuality, and he revealed plans to establish a gay conversion treatment center in Florida. He later collaborated with both Fuentes and Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former US congresswoman.
In addition, Yiannopoulos represents Kanye West, whose 2026 tour includes a Friday nite performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The lifelong provocateur joined West’s hypothetical 2024 presidential campaign in late 2022, but he left a few days after the rapper glorified Adolf Hitler and promoted Nazi ideology on conspiracist Alex Jones’ Infowars broadcast. Over the ensuing years, the two repeatedly got back together and parted ways. In 2024, Yiannopoulis claimed in a string of X posts that West had a nitrous oxide addiction.

Yiannopoulos has hardly shied away from highly publicized conflicts with rivals and adversaries throughout his development as a MAGA figure. Laura Loomer, an Islamophobic conspiracy theorist, is one among the most vocal. On Friday, she pinned a post on X announcing his detention by ICE and seemed to claim some culpability for it.
“I was the first to report on Milo’s illegal presence in the United States, where he worked for Marjorie Traitor Greene and incited violence against President Trump,” Loomer said. “Milo will be deported back to the United Kingdom so he can live with the Muslims he recently decided to embrace.” America is having a fantastic day today.
On his own X account, Yiannopoulos supported a strong anti-immigration position last summer. He wrote, “We must insist on this administration delivering one concrete thing.” “Millions upon millions of people must be deported. Nothing else matters without that.
