Milo Yiannopoulos, the once-prominent British MAGA figure and provocateur who last year urged the Trump administration to “deport millions and millions of people,” was deported Friday to Britain, The New York Times reported Saturday.Yiannopoulos was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this week in Louisiana, with the agency claiming that he had “overstayed” his visa after failing to appear for an immigration hearing.Once a rising star during President Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign, Yiannopoulos’ political career collapsed in 2017 after video surfaced of him defending “perfectly consensual” sexual relationships between adults and minors.A former Breitbart editor, Yiannopoulos spent years on the fringes of conservative politics after his 2017 fall, including a stint as an unpaid intern for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in 2022 and work on Ye’s short-lived 2024 presidential campaign.Yiannopoulos was also a fierce defender of the Trump administration’s mass deportations, having called for “total legal immunity” for ICE agents and for ICE checkpoints to be established at supermarket entrances, gas stations and strip malls.“Mr. Yiannopoulos did not respond to messages seeking comment. He had lived in the United States for more than a decade, joining the staff of Breitbart News on a nonimmigrant visa reserved for people with ‘extraordinary ability,’” the Times’ report reads.“He has frequently tested the limits of his provocations with incendiary remarks about Islam, feminism and immigrants. Mr. Yiannopoulos has also reveled in Mr. Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Last year on social media he called for ‘on the spot deportation’ for those who couldn’t prove they were in the country legally.”
