Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was deported to the United Kingdom, immigration officials said Saturday.
The Department of Homeland Security said Yiannopoulos, a British citizen, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the New Orleans International Airport on Friday.
He was deported "back to his home country" that same night, a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to the BBC.
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.
