ICE Arrests Milo Yiannopoulos, Kanye West's Chief Of Staff, Over Overstay

DHS says Yiannopoulos entered the US legally in 2019, then skipped his immigration hearing before a judge ordered him removed in July.

  • Yiannopoulos entered the US legally on May 14, 2019, via New York.
  • He missed his immigration hearing, and a judge ordered him removed July 22.
  • ICE arrested him Aug. 27 at Louis Armstrong airport, serving as Kanye West's chief of staff.

Why it matters: A removal order entered over a missed hearing shows deportation follows absence, not new evidence of crime.
