Ex-Breitbart editor has vocally supported immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency

Far-right British media provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been deported from the US after being detained on Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New Orleans in connection with what the agency said was expired authorization to be in the country and a deportation order.

Yiannopoulos’s deportation occurred on Friday, said a statement on Saturday from a spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE.

The DHS spokesperson’s statement did not say where Yiannopoulos had been deported to. But, citing “two senior US sources”, the UK’s Telegraph newspaper reported that Yiannopoulos had been flown back to Britain.
