Milo Yiannopoulos, the far-right provocateur who has been feuding with MAGAworld, is in immigration detention after being apprehended outside of New Orleans.

Immigration agents detained the former Kanye West spokesperson and Marjorie Taylor Greene congressional intern Thursday at the airport, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Friday. A judge ordered Yiannopoulos to be removed on July 22 after he failed to appear in immigration court, according to the agency.

Yiannopoulos is from the United Kingdom and has been an outspoken supporter of mass deportations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdowns.

“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,” Yiannopoulos posted on X in the early days of President Donald Trump’s second term. “What are they all waiting for?”

Trump confidant Laura Loomer took credit for Yiannopoulos’ detention, saying she exposed his status as an “illegal alien.” She also called for Greene to face an investigation for hiring Yiannopoulos in the past, saying she has “a whole hard drive full of receipts” to give to the Justice Department about their “sinister relationship.”

“Milo is going back to where he came from: HELL,” Loomer wrote on X.
