MAGA eats one of its own as ICE detains right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos

The Trump administration’s immigration dragnet has caught one of MAGA’s provocateurs, who last year asked, “What are they waiting for?" regarding the president’s mass deportation program’s start.Milo Yiannopoulos, the "ex-gay" British far-right personality who entered the orbits of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ye (formerly Kanye West) after building a career on outrage, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Louisiana airport Friday, TMZ first reported.Agents apprehended Yiannopoulos, 41, where rapper Ye was performing Friday at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome. ICE’s detainee database lists Yiannopoulos in custody, but it does not list where he is being held.Yiannopoulos legally entered the United States through New York City on May 14, 2019, but “chose to overstay his welcome,” DHS said. An immigration judge issued a final removal order July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to appear for his immigration hearing, the department said.“He will remain in ICE custody pending removal,” DHS wrote on X.The department used its confirmation to promote the CBP Home app, through which the Trump administration is offering undocumented immigrants $3,000 and a free flight to leave the country voluntarily.“Being in detention is a choice,” DHS wrote, before warning that people who do not self-deport “will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” Yiannopoulos's arrest is ironic given his outspoken support for the draconian deportation program that has featured masked agents chasing people through neighborhoods and on several occasions shooting and killing American citizens. On January 25, 2025, five days after Trump's second inauguration, Yiannopoulos wrote on X, "If ICE has 90,000 employees, and all we are asking for is 10,000 deportations a day, that’s 9 agents per illegal. More than enough to cover investigation, apprehension and removal. What are they all waiting for?" Far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer qui
