Milo Yiannopoulos, a British far-right commentator, has been taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to the Department of Homeland Security. He was arrested at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on August 27, having legally entered the U.S. in May 2019 but overstaying his visa since then, as indicated by ICE records and reports from CBS News and BBC.

The DHS has stated that Yiannopoulos received a final order of removal on July 22 after failing to appear at his immigration hearing. Yiannopoulos is described as an "illegal alien from the United Kingdom," and he will remain in ICE custody pending resolution of his deportation case, according to Reuters and Le Monde.

Yiannopoulos, who has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and once worked closely with the rapper Kanye West, garnered attention for his controversial stances, including calls for stricter immigration controls. His arrest occurs amid a broader context of increasing immigration detentions, as reported by India Times and South China Morning Post.
