The US regime's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Friday that right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained and is slated for deportation from the country.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the British provocateur at New Orleans International Airport on Thursday for overstaying his visit, with the department labeling him an "illegal alien from the United Kingdom."

Yiannopoulos, once a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and his immigration crackdown, has since fallen out with the Trump movement, adding a layer of political irony to his detention.

The arrest comes amid the US regime's ongoing hardline immigration policies, which have drawn criticism from various quarters. Legal experts suggest Yiannopoulos may contest the deportation, though his options appear limited.

DHS claims his visa had expired, rendering his presence unlawful. He now awaits removal proceedings, marking a dramatic fall for a figure who once championed strict immigration enforcement.
