No one deserves to be abducted by ICE, but it's a lot funnier when it happens to some people than others.

No shit:

He has also cheered on ICE raids, writing on X last year: "Total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're on duty."

He posted in 2025: "We have got to deport millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters."

Yiannopoulos also advocated on social media for "on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally".

He now calls himself an "ex-gay".

Roy Cohn, political mentor to both Trump and Roger Stone, who died of AIDS, always denied that he was gay, even though everyone knew it. Conservatives covered for him by saying that he wasn't really gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blonde men. It was a power thing, not a sex thing. Obviously.

BTW, it should be noted that both Trump and Stone were young blonde men.

Thanks for linking to an actual journalistic news outlet. All the other posts I've seen relating to this were for trash rags like TMZ, the NY Post, and the Daily Mail.

ICE shouldn't exist.

That being said, no one deserves to be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp more than those who support exactly that.

This is almost as good as Kirk getting shot and killed while debating gun violence on the side that enables gun violence. The irony is chef's kiss

I'd argue he deserves what he's getting. He cheered it on and supported it happening to others

I would, of course, prefer no one in an ICE concentration camp, but of there is even ine person, I can't think of anyone more deserving than him

What I don't agree with is the part where this seems retaliation from the Trump admin. Milo has been criticizing Trump more recently, and helped Ye's presidential campaign, which was competing with Trump. It seems likely, given Trump's character, that this is retaliation for not falling in line -- a dangerous display of how authoritarian the US has become

That... is a word to use. Not the correct word, but it's a word.

Prefect, 10/10, no notes. Now we just need the "papers of record" to stop inventing ways to dance around it.

Holy fuck, the UK doesn't want him back here! Is it too late to divert him to El Salvador or similar as he would wish for others?

I hope he enjoys their special protein water.

I heard Iberia said they’d watch him for a long weekend.
