Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was detained Friday in Louisiana for overstaying his visa, immigration officials said.
The Department of Homeland Security said Yiannopoulos, a British citizen, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the New Orleans International Airport.
Yiannopoulos entered the United States legally in May 2019 but "chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws," DHS said in a statement on X.
"Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing," the statement added. "He will remain in ICE custody pending removal."
