Milo Yiannopoulos has arrived in the United Kingdom after being deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to federal law-enforcement sources and the Department of Homeland Security.

ICE officers took Yiannopoulos from an immigration holding facility in Louisiana and transported him under federal authority to an airport in another state. He then boarded a flight to Britain.

Federal sources said ICE received confirmation from British authorities that Yiannopoulos had reached his home country after leaving the plane.

A DHS spokesperson separately confirmed that the British national had been deported to his country of origin.

Immigration agents arrested Yiannopoulos on Thursday night as he left an aircraft at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Authorities subsequently transferred him to a facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, used to hold undocumented detainees awaiting removal.

Yiannopoulos, a former executive for Kanye West, legally entered the United States in 2019 but remained beyond the period he was authorized to stay.

A federal immigration judge issued a final removal order on July 22, 2026. The arrest and deportation followed that order.
