Washington — Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, according to the agency's online detainee database.
Reports indicate Yiannopoulos, who is British, was in New Orleans ahead of a concert headlined by the artist formerly known as Kanye West scheduled for Friday night. TMZ first reported Yiannopoulos' status.
CBS News has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for additional details and the basis for his apprehension.
Yiannopoulos has done work for the political and corporate ambitions of West, who's now known as Ye.
Yiannopoulos, a poster of racist rhetoric, has been a supporter of ICE's immigration enforcement in the past.
"California needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally," he posted on social media in June 2025.
"Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty," he wrote in September 2025.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

"I didn't know the leopards would eat my face!"
I'd like to see the arrest and deportation of criminal maga become a popular trend in the near future ...
I love it when the shit hits the fan!
gee, I sure hope the internal maga blame game doesn't take a turn for the worse after the midterms ...
I love it when the shit hits a fan of Trump.
I love it when the far right eat their own. Fascists attacking fascists is simply karma.
I'd like it a lot better if they did it armed ...
Ye went from bad to worst.
Wow they got one right, the only thing missing was shooting him in the back.
they found they scapegoat
'influencers"
You know who doesn't get mentioned enough when people are talking about rightwing media "influencers"? The easily influenced. None of these conservative dipshits would be "influencers" if there weren't a treasure trove of complete dumb fuck conservatives just begging to be influenced.
What really sucks is how it is possible to make wealth off of the misery and oppression of innocent people. I would state the same if it was liberals doing so.
A lot of people think MAGA is their friend until the straight white supremacists show them who they really are.
nothing pisses maga off more than somebody with a name they can't spell the same way twice ...
Since 'it' was all about money in the first place. . . 'throw' him back! Using our country for profit above people and "the good" of his fellow 'man' - let him take his illegal gain and go 'home.'
It's funny how the left think this is some kind of flex. He was here illegally, he was deported.
what's even funnier is a republican civil war over what side of the closet door each maga is standing ...
Sorry, I don't deal in liberal fantasy.
it seems most maga fantasies cause blisters and tennis elbow ...
That's fine, most of us don't deal is conservative delusions.
And yet here you are....again.
Once again. . ."MAGA supporters" are caught in the 'throbs' of a lie or deliberate ignorance ( which is worst? ):
Well, Ms. Milo, you can STOP pretending to be 'STRAIGHT for Pay' now. Go get yo' man - and keep him girl!

What do you think it has to do with your comment? Do I have to draw you a picture?!! MAGA supporters deporting their 'own' outcast is MAGA supporter -- "schadenfreude."
Liberals are just sitting and watching. Please continue, Laura, Raheem, and Benny! Get those MAGA 'outcasts' out of here! Keep waaaatttttccchhhing!
We must admit deporting Milo is a good thing though. Right?
[✘]
he's an illegal, isn't he?
[✘]
It has nothing to do with it. I didn't think I needed to explain that.[✘]
Hi JBB! Frankly, I do not know much about Milo Yiannopoulos. I literally just looked up an interview he had with Tucker Carlson ("The Tucker Carlson Show") and it is not even dated as to when. Also, I see he has a Youtube channel (of course! Bitch gets paid for tearing others down).
That. . .assessment. . . made above, I guess yes "schadenfreude" done caught a self-serving conservative QUEEN (oxymoron) in the drain and flushed!
MAGA supporters have the answer and so do the rest of us.
(Deny all you want; participate or don't.)
Imagine a MAGA defending a gay man
Well, technically, Jeremy is not defending Milo. . . (he takes the position that Milo has overstayed his visa and thus has become an illegal (in violation of stated law) and must go). . .one does have to wonder if every MAGA supporter that is "illegal" will get the same treatment (because we know for sure that MAGA supporters are selected in whom they wish to see 'tossed').
Yes, we know that if MAGA wants to keep someone who is 'highly favored' they will hide that individual in plain sight of everybody. That is, they will not deport him or her. They will not even entertain the thought if given to them to consider!
Additionally, MAGA supporters do TOLERATE Log Cabin Republicans. . . whom stay on message and don't cause (good) trouble within MAGA-land!
it's more likely laura is trying to eliminate her competitors for 1st chair in the meat whistle section of the maga orchestra.
milo popularized putting revolving doors on closets ...

What a dumbass. He should be permanently barred from the US.
I think re-entry is banned automatically for like 5 or 10 years after deportation, but I don't know and I don't feel like researching it.
my son's FIL got turned around in miami back to peru after some gov't caused snafu on his work visa and they threatened him with 5 years. luckily, it happened under the biden administration and I was able to get it rectified with a phone call to a relative in DC. in other news, immigration has again lost my son's BIL and SIL's paperwork for the 4th time and ICE threatened them with immediate deportation at their next interview, after being here for almost 5 years and now owning a local business and paying taxes. gee, I wonder if it has something to do with their 2 pro bono immigration cases working thru the courts for the last year.
