Border Czar Denies Milo Yiannopoulos Was Deported Quickly to Spare Him ICE Detention

White House border czar Tom Homan denied that deporting British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos one day after his arrest amounted to preferential treatment. Yiannopoulos, 41, was arrested by ICE at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport over what the agency said was expired authorization to be in the country and an existing deportation order, and was removed to the United Kingdom the next day. The one-day turnaround stands against the months-long detentions documented elsewhere in this database for people with active asylum claims.
