Milo Yiannopoulos, a 41-year-old British national and former editor at Breitbart News, is currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to records from the ICE inmate registry, Yiannopoulos is being held in a facility in Louisiana.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Yiannopoulos is subject to a final order of removal. This legal status was finalized by an immigration judge on July 22. According to federal authorities, the order was issued because Yiannopoulos failed to appear for a scheduled immigration proceeding.

Yiannopoulos, who previously served as a political aide to the rapper Kanye West, has not yet issued a public statement regarding his current detention or the pending deportation order. While the specific details regarding his visa status or the nature of the underlying immigration case remain limited, the DHS has indicated that the process is moving toward his removal from the United States. The situation remains developing as legal representatives for Yiannopoulos have not publicly commented on the status of any potential appeals or the circumstances surrounding his missed court appearance.
