Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos nabbed by ICE in Louisiana

https://nypost.com/2026/08/28/us-news/far-right-provocateur-milo-yiannopoulos-nabbed-by-ice-in-louisiana/

Controversial right-wing provocateur and on-again, off-again Kanye West spokesman Milo Yiannopoulos is being held in ICE custody, The Post has learned.

The bombastic former Breitbart News editor was apprehended in Louisiana at an airport, according to TMZ, but the circumstances behind his detention were not immediately clear.

The 41-year-old Brit served as an unpaid summer intern for former US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2022, and worked on West’s stunt 2024 White House bid, serving as his director of political operations.

He famously arranged a sit-down dinner between President Trump and the “Heartless” rapper, which was also attended by white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

provocateur

What a strange way of spelling the word "bigot". Then again, it's the NYT NYP we're talking about

edit: NYP not NYT although the difference grows thinner by the year

Whoa, whoa, whoa... bigot?! You just gonna casually dismiss his "provocative" statements on and support of, pedophilia? You forget yourself.

Supporting pedophilia is not bigotry. Is that the joke?

The joke is he's a bigot and a pedophile.

I find that whenever I see "provocateur", substituting "scumbag edgelord" doesn't change much.

I'd say it probably couldn't happen to a more deserving person. But I'm sure they probably released him almost immediately.

I hope they treated you exactly the same as all the brown people they’ve targeted, bigot.

Speak out against the dictator, end up in the clink.

Let's see if he cries as much as the Tate brothers

That's hilarious. They can leave him locked up in there for all I care.

I'd say I hope they throw him out of the country, because it would be like deserved karma.
But that would probably mean he is going back to Europe, so I hope they let him stay in USA, as a reward for all the "Good work".
