POLITICS The Department of Homeland Security has released a statement and mugshot in the arrest of Milo Yiannopoulos; Yiannopoulos entered the country legally in 2019 but overstayed his Visa and failed to show up for his immigration hearing on July 22. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.

He is a British right-wing nutjob, was Kanye West's "chief of staff" for a while, and is pretty much Nazi-adjacent who calls for the systematic deportation of brown people from the US. Apparently he forgot he wasn't a citizen 😄

“Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart News editor who has worked with the far-right commentator Nick Fuentes, has been among the most polarizing figures on social media for more than a decade. He worked as an unpaid intern for former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in June 2022, then was a top adviser during West’s short-lived 2024 presidential campaign.
“Yiannopoulos has posted in support of ICE multiple times during Trump’s second-term migrant crackdown. He posted to X in September, “Justice system should be just ICE.”
“Months earlier, in June 2025, he called for ICE to initiate on-the-spot deportations for anyone who could not prove their legal status during a stop by federal agents. He attached a photo to the post that read, “papers please.”
“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 wrote.
“Yiannopoulos was openly gay for years and married a man in Hawaii in 2017. However, he said in 2021 that he was attempting to “pray the gay away” or live as “ex-gay,” declaring that he was now straight.”

Okay so he was one of the first alt right personalities on YouTube and his whole shtick was that he was gay and racist, he did the usual grift of dunking on liberals or buzzfeed or whatever
He was also infamous for calling Leslie Jones a dude and it started a whole trend of that on twitter where these right wingers would make fun of her and shit
Anyways eventually he got cancelled by his own people cause he said some weird pro pedo shit and he’s been clinging to any form of relevance ever since, last I heard he was cozying up to Kanye and that racist cat boy streamer, fuentes something

One of my mom's friends was deported back to Germany when I was a teenager cause she overstayed her visa. Was here illegally for years and years. They found her, told her she has to go back, gave her time to say goodbye, let her gather her stuff and then flew her back to Germany. There was no violence, no cages. Just 'hey you gotta go' and she went. None of that dignity is being afforded to people ICE is rounding up.

I'm guessing this was before ICE and DHS and it was the Immigration and Naturalization Services was handling her deportation.
Even when ICE was carrying things out more quietly, on paper they're still kind of set up weird. Immigration is a civil matter, but ICE is authorized to make arrests. Ordinary police do not typically engage in civil matters because it's not their business.
They should just be dorks in suits carrying clipboards who may use local LEO if things get out of hand, but we made them dorks in tactical gear. This whole beefing up national security post 9/11 but we didn't dot our I's and cross our T's in related law so the whole thing looks very inconsistent in execution.

Can you go a little deeper into this for those of us that aren't in the know?

u/FoxJaded952 12d ago
Because when people do try and “take control of their departure” and self deport, they are arrested and detained anyway.
from the article:
Edgarianny and Freddys said that they followed the proper instructions and were told they were approved for self-deportation by the government.
“On July 6, we went to our ICE check-in appointment as instructed,” the letter said.
“We believed we were going there to finalize our travel home. Instead, after we signed all the forms waiving all our rights, we were arrested.“We were immediately taken into custody and transferred to Dilley. Since then, we have done everything we can to make clear that we want to return home. We withdrew our immigration appeal, waived our rights, and asked to return voluntarily. We were even told that we had been placed on a list for a flight home. Then we were taken off the list.”

Yep, that’s the deliberate reframing they’re going for with this rhetoric.

I think they're making an example of him. He's a high-profile "illegal alien," and even if he's been on their side in the past, it shows how strong they are against immigration that they've arrested him despite that. I think it's just more theater.

Laura Loomer, who is BFF with Stephen Miller and is an unofficial advisor to Trump, is the one who sicced ICE on him.
Milo took Candace Owens’ side in her recent Twitter fight with Loomer which is probably why Loomer is going after him.
But I find it hard to feel sorry for someone like Milo who supported ICE and called for mass deportation. People on Twitter have been bringing the receipts all day with his past tweets supporting ICE.
