Federal authorities confirmed the deportation took place on Friday, following an arrest that occurred just one day prior. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Yiannopoulos entered the country legally in May 2019 but subsequently violated immigration laws by overstaying his authorized period. A final order of removal had been issued against him on July 22 after he failed to appear for a scheduled immigration hearing.
While Yiannopoulos has gained notoriety for his vocal support of aggressive border policies—including a recent claim on social media that the country must deport millions to survive—his personal status had been in legal limbo. Reports suggest he had been in New Orleans to attend a performance by the rapper Ye, a close associate. Despite his public calls for stricter enforcement at supermarket entrances and beyond, the commentator did not respond to requests for comment following his removal.
