What happened

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that ICE arrested British political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and is holding him pending removal from the United States. DHS said Yiannopoulos entered the country legally through New York City in May 2019, overstayed his visa and received a final removal order from an immigration judge on July 22. Agency records showed him in ICE custody in Louisiana. Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart editor and Kanye West aide, had publicly supported aggressive ICE enforcement.
