Milo Yiannopoulos spent last year publicly demanding Laura Loomer be assassinated during one of MAGA's ugliest personal feuds.
That ally, activist Laura Loomer, said she reported his immigration status to ICE and the FBI right after his threat.
By Thursday night, ICE agents were waiting for Yiannopoulos at a Louisiana airport, and his year of freedom in America was over.
Loomer Says She Turned Milo in After He Wanted Her Dead
Milo Yiannopoulos spent years building a career on outrage.
He attacked feminists, mocked Muslims, and made a name trashing political correctness for anyone who would listen.
But this month it was a fellow Trump ally, not a liberal enemy, who ended his run in America.
Laura Loomer posted on X that she reported Yiannopoulos to ICE and the FBI after he called for her assassination during their public feud.
"I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally," Loomer wrote.
She said Yiannopoulos had been hiding in plain sight, staying at the homes of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and podcaster Candace Owens.
Yiannopoulos never denied any of it.
He went silent on social media the moment ICE picked him up.
DHS Says He Overstayed His Visa Since 2019 and Skipped Court
Yiannopoulos entered America legally through New York on May 14, 2019.
He stayed illegally for years after that, DHS said.
A federal immigration judge issued him a final removal order on July 22 after he blew off his own hearing.
Agents grabbed him Thursday night at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, where he had flown in for Ye's concert.
He spent one night in custody in Alexandria, Louisiana.
By Friday he was on a plane back to the United Kingdom.
"He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws," DHS said.
Officials then used his case to send a warning to every other illegal immigrant still hiding in America.
The agency pointed people toward the CBP Home app, where DHS is paying $3,000 and a free flight to anyone who leaves on their own.
Staying in a detention cell instead is a choice, not a requirement, officials made clear.
Skip that offer, and you get arrested and deported with no path back in.
A Fellow Republican Learned the Same Lesson Last Year
Yiannopoulos isn't the first person to find out his political friends can pick up a phone too.
In January 2025, an Ada County Republican Party official publicly reported a fellow Idaho Republican lawmaker's family farm to ICE's tip line, accusing her of employing undocumented workers after she spoke up for immigrant labor.
Agents showed up at that farm three days later.
Within the week, one of the farm's employees had been arrested.
Same tip line, same result, different feud.
Loyalty to Trump Didn't Buy Yiannopoulos a Single Day
Yiannopoulos spent a decade as a MAGA fixture, and it didn't buy him a single day of amnesty.
That's the real story here, not the feud that started it.
Democrats spent Biden's four years pretending immigration enforcement was cruelty invented by Republicans.
These two cases say otherwise.
Under this administration, a broken immigration law gets enforced no matter who files the tip or who it lands on.
Laura Loomer has Trump's ear inside the West Wing, and she just proved she doesn't need a subpoena or a lawsuit to use it.
She needed one phone call, because this administration actually follows up.
That should worry anyone still gambling on staying in this country illegally, famous or not.
