Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right provocateur, former editor of right-wing news site Breitbart News and former supporter of President Donald Trump, has been deported to the United Kingdom, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday.

Yiannopoulos was removed from the U.S. to his home country on Friday, according to the DHS. He was arrested by immigration officials at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport the day before.

The department said Yiannopoulos entered the country legally on May 14, 2019, but overstayed his visa. He was issued a final order of removal on July 22 after failing to attend his immigration hearing, DHS said.

Yiannopoulos was a vociferous supporter of Trump and his immigration policies. At Breitbart, he made a name for himself as a supporter of Gamergate, a misogynistic online harassment campaign that has been linked to the rise of online alt-right communities and the right-wing media ecosystem.

He associated with neo-Nazis and played a major role in ushering white nationalism into mainstream conservative thought.

But his comments appearing to condone pedophilia proved a bridge too far.

In 2017, online video clips surfaced of Yiannopoulos seemingly condoning sexual activity between men and boys as young as 13 years old, sparking backlash among the MAGA faithful.

Yiannopoulos resigned from Breitbart but said at that the time that he was “horrified by pedophilia” and that the videos were deceptively edited.

He made several attempts at rehabilitating his image with the right after his downfall.

He worked as an unpaid intern in former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office in 2022. He has also worked for disgraced rapper Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — in various capacities, including on the musician’s presidential campaigns.

According to TMZ, which first reported Yiannopoulos’ arrest on Friday, he was in New Orleans because Ye was slated to perform in the city that night.
