Rapper Kanye West Exec Milo Yiannopoulos flown back to UK after getting deported by ICE

Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the United States and returned to the United Kingdom after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to federal law enforcement sources cited by TMZ.

The British right-wing commentator and former executive associated with Kanye West was taken from a holding facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, and transported under federal authority to an airport in another state, where he boarded a flight to the UK.

Sources said ICE received confirmation from UK authorities that Yiannopoulos had arrived after leaving the United States. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that he had been deported “back to his home country.”

Yiannopoulos was arrested by ICE agents on Thursday night after getting off a flight at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. He was subsequently transferred to the Louisiana holding facility for undocumented detainees awaiting deportation.

A federal judge issued Yiannopoulos a final removal order on July 22, 2026, after he remained in the United States beyond his authorised period of stay. He had legally entered the country in 2019.
