Milo Yiannopoulos deported to UK after ICE detention.
ICE detained Milo Yiannopoulos at a Louisiana airport, according to inmate records and sources. He is currently held at an ICE detention center.
- Yiannopoulos served as Kanye West's chief of staff for nearly two years before 2024.
- He stated in 2017 that he held an O-1 nonimmigrant visa in the United States.
- West is scheduled to perform Friday at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
- Right-wing activist Laura Loomer claimed credit, saying she reported his undocumented status first.
Why it matters: Yiannopoulos is a British citizen whose legal status in the United States determines whether ICE has grounds to hold him. The reason for his detention has not been confirmed by authorities.

Center coverage, 25 sources: The center treats this as a developing celebrity-adjacent news item, reporting facts without editorializing about the irony of his immigration views.
