According to Tom Homan, the White House 'border czar,' Yiannopoulos overstayed what he believed to be a visitor visa. ICE executed the deportation order promptly after it was issued by a federal judge. Homan denied that Yiannopoulos received preferential treatment in his deportation process.
Yiannopoulos described his detention and deportation as 'humiliating and disorienting,' 'physically degrading,' and 'frightening' during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. He claimed he was married to an American and held a green card that he was renewing on a two-year basis, disputing the government's account of overstaying a visa.
Yiannopoulos also expressed regret for his previous support of President Donald Trump's immigration policies, stating that he would never have supported Trump if he had understood the 'physical reality' of the deportation process. He described being handcuffed and chained like an MS-13 gang member, which he found particularly distressing.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Yiannopoulos legally entered the country but chose to overstay his welcome in violation of U.S. laws. Yiannopoulos was detained by ICE at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on August 27 and subsequently deported on the same day.
Yiannopoulos had been a vocal supporter of Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, advocating for mass deportations and ICE checkpoints in various public statements. The DHS is working on speeding up the deportation process, and Yiannopoulos most recently worked for the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
