  • Far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was arrested by U.S. immigration authorities in New Orleans for overstaying his visa.
  • An deportation order was pending against Yiannopoulos, who legally entered the U.S. in 2019.
  • Damaging messages allegedly from Yiannopoulos to his estranged husband have surfaced, including racist slurs and admissions of using his husband for a Green Card.

U.S. immigration authorities arrested and detained controversial commentator Milo Yiannopoulos at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for overstaying his visa, with an existing deportation order against him.

Yiannopoulos, a 41-year-old British national, legally entered the U.S. in 2019 but failed to appear for a scheduled hearing, leading a judge to issue a final removal order. The arrest occurred on August 27, as confirmed by Homeland Security.

Adding to his legal troubles, Yiannopoulos faces accusations from his estranged husband, John Campbell. Court documents presented by TMZ reportedly include text messages where Yiannopoulos allegedly uses racist slurs and states, "I only used you for the Green Card."

Campbell also claims Yiannopoulos exhibited aggressive behavior, including physical assault in April 2025, and demanded his former partner's "complete obedience" while covering household expenses. Yiannopoulos denies these allegations, calling the messages "obvious forgeries" and suggesting his ex-husband sent them from his own device. He also claimed any use of racial slurs was "ironic" during arguments.
