Milo Yiannopoulos was deported from the United States on Friday after being arrested a day earlier at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for overstaying his visa. His deportation follows a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge on July 22 after he failed to attend an immigration hearing.
Milo Yiannopoulos was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Thursday before his deportation on Friday. An immigration judge had issued a final order of removal on July 22 after Yiannopoulos failed to attend a scheduled hearing.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Milo Yiannopoulos was deported after an immigration judge ordered his removal due to his failure to attend a hearing. DHS underscored its commitment to reversing previous leniencies in immigration enforcement, stating, “Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate this.”
What remains unclear — It is not clear how Yiannopoulos’ deportation will affect his political activities and associations in the UK.

Far-right political commentator and deportation advocate Milo Yiannopoulos was deported Friday, a day after his arrest by immigration authorities for overstaying his visa, U.S. officials said Saturday.
Yiannopoulos, who is British, was returned to his home country on Friday after being accused of overstaying his visa after entering the country legally in May 2019, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said. An immigration judge had issued a final order of removal on July 22 after he failed to show up for an immigration hearing.
Yiannopoulos was arrested Thursday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Louisiana and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“DHS reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country. Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate this,” the DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.”
Reports indicated that Yiannopoulos was in New Orleans ahead of a concert by the formerly known as Kanye West. Yiannopoulos has done work for the political and corporate ambitions of West, who’s now known as Ye.
Yiannopoulos, who was banned from Twitter for several years for hateful attacks against comedian Leslie Jones, is a well-known champion of conservative causes and has frequently taken provocative public positions criticizing feminism, Islam and immigrants. He has also been a supporter of ICE’s immigration enforcement efforts 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.

Get you up to speed: Florida man smuggled nearly $1,000,000 worth of US aircraft parts to Russia | News World
Alexander Mamonov, a Russian expat residing in Florida, was convicted for illegally exporting nearly $1 million worth of aircraft components to Aeroflot, Russia’s flag carrier. He conspired with Ignat Vakorin, who remains at large, and was found guilty on 12 counts, including conspiracy to commit smuggling and submitting false export information.
Alexander Mamonov and his co-conspirator, Ignat Vakorin, were charged by indictment in April 2025, with Mamonov being convicted on multiple counts this week. The operation was illegal due to sanctions imposed on Aeroflot following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which prohibited the receipt of American-origin goods, including aircraft parts.
The U.S. Department of Justice has reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing export-control laws in response to Alexander Mamonov’s conviction for illegally exporting aircraft components to Aeroflot. Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg stated, “This guilty verdict…shows the United States government’s resolute commitment to upholding our export-control laws,” indicating continued vigilance against similar violations.
What remains unclear — The current whereabouts of co-conspirator Ignat Vakorin are unknown.

A Russian expat living in Florida has been convicted for illegally exporting nearly $1million in aircraft parts to his home country.
Alexander Mamonov, a former employee of Russian flag carrier Aeroflot, was found to have masterminded a scheme to secretly ship hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of components to the sanctioned airline.
Mamonov, 62, lied to suppliers about the parts’ destination, claiming they were intended for other countries including China and the UAE.
The resident of south Florida co-conspired with Ignat Vakorin, who remains on the run, to ship the more than $900,000 worth of equipment.
The pair were charged by indictment in April 2025.
Mamonov was convicted this week on 12 counts, including illegal export of items subject to ECRA, conspiracy to commit smuggling, smuggling of goods, submitting false or misleading export information, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

He was found by a jury to have used fake labels and financial transactions to conceal the destination of his exports.
Aeroflot was banned from receiving goods of American origin, including Boeing aircraft and parts, as part of sanctions imposed on Russia following Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A Eisenberg said: ‘This guilty verdict – on all counts – shows the United States government’s resolute commitment to upholding our export-control laws and to prosecuting those who violate them.
‘The National Security Division and our U.S. Attorney’s Offices and law enforcement partners will continue to safeguard U.S.-controlled items from being exported unlawfully.’
Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones said: ‘You cannot put a fake destination on a shipping label and make American export laws disappear.
‘This defendant conspired to secretly funnel nearly $1 million in American aircraft parts to Russia and Aeroflot, then used false destinations and financial transactions to conceal what he was doing.
He added: ‘We will continue to aggressively pursue those who use our district, our financial system, or American businesses to undermine U.S. national security.’
