Milo Yiannopoulos deported after ICE arrest and detention at major Louisiana removal hub

May 14, 2019. A skipped hearing. Friday's flight. The clock does not care about a byline.

Summary

  • Fox News reports ICE arrested British national Milo Yiannopoulos at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner, Louisiana, on Thursday and deported him to the United Kingdom on Friday.
  • DHS says he entered legally through New York City on May 14, 2019, then overstayed. An immigration judge issued a final removal order on July 22 after he failed to appear.
  • He was held at the Alexandria, Louisiana, hub, a major ICE removal node, before the flight out.
  • DHS used the case to warn that the Trump administration will not tolerate overstays and has reversed a Biden-era practice that let illegal immigrants fly domestic routes unrelated to departure.

Commentary

A night-shift dad still stands in a linoleum lobby with a passport and a number. He does not get a second year because he writes for a living.

That is the gap. A 2019 entry. A July no-show. A Friday removal. The honest citizen already followed the clock. The famous visa did not.

Ask every consular officer who still stamps a page: if a skipped hearing can still end in a seat to London, who still owns the calendar?

Comments

If a skipped hearing still ends in a Friday flight, who owns the visa clock?

A final order after a no-show is the system working. Keep it working on the names without bylines too.

I renewed a passport in a vinyl chair. A seven-year overstay is not a mix-up.

u/rule_first · 4h

Enter 2019, overstay, skip July 22, fly Friday. That is the INA, not a feud.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied airports already pull an overstay at the gate. Copy the clock.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Kenner arrest, Alexandria hub, UK flight. The geography is the case file.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still show a badge to enter a plant. A visa is the same lock with a stamp.

u/texas_mom · 90m

The lesson for a kid is simple. The date on the page is the date. No encore.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A hub that can move a famous overstay can move the next quiet one. Keep the seats filling.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed May 14, 2019, July 22, Kenner, Alexandria, and Friday. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Enforce the stamp. Fly the no-show. A byline is not a waiver.
