WEBVTT - What Happened with Milo Yiannopoulos? 0:00:06.900 --> 0:00:11.280 Welcome to It Could Happen Here, I'm Garrison Davis. On Monday, 0:00:11.380 --> 0:00:17.120 August 27th, ICE arrested right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at the 0:00:17.390 --> 0:00:21.770 Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. And within just a day, 0:00:22.350 --> 0:00:25.830 Milo was deported to the UK. In a statement from 0:00:25.890 --> 0:00:29.780 August 28th, The Department of Homeland Security referred to Milo 0:00:29.900 --> 0:00:34.010 as a quote-unquote illegal alien from the United Kingdom and 0:00:34.100 --> 0:00:38.909 said that he quote, legally entered the country on May 14, 0:00:38.909 --> 0:00:42.269 2019 through New York City, New York. He chose to 0:00:42.550 --> 0:00:47.770 overstay his welcome in violation of our nation's laws. Yiannopoulos 0:00:47.810 --> 0:00:50.510 was issued a final order of removal by an immigration 0:00:50.550 --> 0:00:54.529 judge on July 22, after failing to show up for 0:00:54.570 --> 0:01:00.890 his immigration hearing. So according to DHS, Milo Yiannopoulos both 0:01:01.230 --> 0:01:05.390 overstayed a visa and did not show up to immigration 0:01:05.510 --> 0:01:10.450 court hearings. And so, in absentia, a judge ordered his removal. 0:01:11.110 --> 0:01:14.240 We'll get more into that later this episode, and we'll 0:01:14.260 --> 0:01:16.440 also get into some of Milo's background in a bit. 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.940 But safe to say that the former rising star of 0:01:19.980 --> 0:01:24.500 the alt-right currently has more enemies than friends on the 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.380 political right and in the MAGA world. His deportation has 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.319 been met with some amusement among the online left, but 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.580 even more so among the online right. In fact, multiple 0:01:36.819 --> 0:01:42.600 far-right influencers have claimed credit for Milo's deportation, most notably 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:47.920 and plausibly one of Milo's old friends-turned-enemies, Laura Loomer. After 0:01:47.970 --> 0:01:53.990 reports of Milo's arrest broke online, Loomer posted on XTheEverything app, quote, 0:01:54.610 --> 0:01:58.460 breaking A legal alien, Milo Yiannopoulos, has been detained by ICE. 0:01:58.980 --> 0:02:01.100 I was the first person to report on the fact 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.900 that Milo is in the U.S. illegally, where he incited 0:02:04.980 --> 0:02:10.459 violence against President Trump and worked for Marjorie Trader Green. Recently, 0:02:10.500 --> 0:02:14.040 Candace Owens invited this illegal alien into her home. When 0:02:14.090 --> 0:02:17.550 Milo called for me to be assassinated, I reported him 0:02:17.610 --> 0:02:20.709 to ICE and the FBI. I told you all that 0:02:20.770 --> 0:02:24.049 Milo was an illegal alien. He was detained in Louisiana 0:02:24.150 --> 0:02:26.269 by ICE. Milo is going to be deported back to 0:02:26.290 --> 0:02:29.180 the UK where he can live among the Muslims he 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.519 has recently chosen to embrace. Today is a great day 0:02:33.620 --> 0:02:38.780 for America. The next day, Loomer said that DHS told 0:02:38.860 --> 0:02:42.739 her that Milo is, quote, never allowed to come back 0:02:42.780 --> 0:02:46.940 to the United States ever again. Now, I'm not doing 0:02:46.980 --> 0:02:51.590 this episode to dunk on Milo Yiannopoulos and cheer on 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:56.139 that he has been deported. This mechanism of deportation should 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.859 not exist in the country, whether it's used against poor 0:03:00.020 --> 0:03:04.890 working class immigrants from Haiti or the most annoying right-wing 0:03:04.930 --> 0:03:08.610 fascist that you can imagine. Milo still has access to 0:03:08.669 --> 0:03:11.510 millions and millions of dollars of wealth. He will be 0:03:11.570 --> 0:03:14.190 completely fine. The same cannot be said of the majority 0:03:14.210 --> 0:03:18.550 of immigrants who are deported by ICE. But this situation 0:03:18.590 --> 0:03:23.500 does represent a very interesting moment in right-wing politics. I 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.840 never thought the leopards would eat my face, etc, etc. 0:03:27.410 --> 0:03:30.870 Milo played a not insignificant role in getting Trump elected 0:03:31.150 --> 0:03:35.690 back in 2016, and now is suffering some consequences from 0:03:35.890 --> 0:03:39.350 the world that he helped bring into being. And before 0:03:39.390 --> 0:03:41.750 I continue, I want to make one other note. I'm 0:03:41.770 --> 0:03:44.770 trying to be really careful in how I cover this story, 0:03:44.990 --> 0:03:49.590 because Milo himself is a professional attention seeker. It is 0:03:49.630 --> 0:03:53.380 not completely impossible that... Whether he knew he had a 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.600 final order of removal or not, he claims he didn't, 0:03:57.060 --> 0:04:00.790 but usually an in absentia ruling only comes after the 0:04:00.870 --> 0:04:04.850 court knows the person is receiving notices to appear in 0:04:04.930 --> 0:04:07.770 court and is choosing not to. But regardless of whether 0:04:08.050 --> 0:04:11.230 he knew that he could be deported, Milo will certainly 0:04:11.290 --> 0:04:14.970 try to use this moment for political and personal benefit. 0:04:16.020 --> 0:04:19.650 A few days after being deported, Milo made his first 0:04:19.830 --> 0:04:23.969 public appearance on Piers Morgan's show, and I will play 0:04:24.110 --> 0:04:26.970 a few clips from this appearance, but let's keep in 0:04:27.010 --> 0:04:30.730 mind that Milo has his own careerist interests at the 0:04:30.750 --> 0:04:34.210 centre of nearly everything he does in the public eye. 0:04:34.830 --> 0:04:38.810 That said, here are Milo's very first comments after being deported. 0:04:39.310 --> 0:04:41.540 I don't think I've ever been afraid before, like I 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.660 was the last week. Maybe I've lived an especially posited 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:51.370 and cosseted life. But I think for the first time, 0:04:51.670 --> 0:04:54.790 I know what it feels like to be really, really terrified. 0:04:54.810 --> 0:05:00.170 What were you terrified of? Well, I'd like to get 0:05:00.230 --> 0:05:03.020 to some of the claims that were made by Homan 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:09.640 in a moment, but I didn't really understand the physical 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.820 reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.910 manner in which they arrest you They put your manacles, 0:05:17.089 --> 0:05:20.770 your hands, your feet, chained together. I mean, everybody who's 0:05:20.810 --> 0:05:23.110 arrested is like an MS-13 gang member. And it hurts 0:05:23.150 --> 0:05:24.490 a lot more than it looks like on television. 0:05:25.550 --> 0:05:28.640 So right off the bat, he is lying and trying 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.859 to garner sympathy. He absolutely did know about the physical 0:05:33.060 --> 0:05:37.580 institutional brutality of deportation. While he is certainly correct that 0:05:37.620 --> 0:05:41.349 he has lived a sheltered, privileged life, He has also 0:05:41.490 --> 0:05:44.970 watched those videos of the U.S. government deporting or renditioning 0:05:45.150 --> 0:05:48.530 hundreds of people to Seacott. And in this interview, he 0:05:48.670 --> 0:05:53.040 references MS-13 gang members, even though most of the people 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.140 sent to Seacott had no criminal convictions and no due process. 0:05:57.820 --> 0:06:01.360 And back then, Milo just didn't care about that and 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.020 only cares about due process now for himself after facing 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.470 a tiny shred of the pain and suffering thousands of 0:06:09.510 --> 0:06:12.390 people less fortunate than him have been subjected to. 0:06:13.730 --> 0:06:19.310 You know, I was put from a detention facility to 0:06:19.390 --> 0:06:22.950 a correction facility. You know, every three hours they were 0:06:22.970 --> 0:06:24.590 sort of trying to keep ahead of my lawyer so 0:06:24.630 --> 0:06:28.210 I couldn't, you know, whatever. But no one would tell 0:06:28.250 --> 0:06:32.060 me anything. I mean, I know it's designed to be 0:06:32.100 --> 0:06:37.370 like that, but it was huge. Sure, it was humiliating 0:06:37.410 --> 0:06:39.550 and it was disorientating and the rest of it. It 0:06:39.589 --> 0:06:43.810 was physically degrading. It was frightening. It was frightening. I 0:06:43.810 --> 0:06:45.250 don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. 0:06:46.050 --> 0:06:48.510 Yeah, that sounds like it sucks, dude. But the thing is, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.640 later on in this very interview, Milo says he's still 0:06:53.980 --> 0:06:58.679 not opposed to ICE as an organization or deportations in general. 0:06:59.060 --> 0:07:01.400 But rather, the problem is, is that we're just not 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.140 deporting the right people. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:08.650 It's on January 22nd. The second, 2025, you posted, punishing 0:07:08.750 --> 0:07:11.930 Somalis indiscriminately as a group and deported them all is 0:07:11.950 --> 0:07:14.910 the only way this administration will persuade the voters it 0:07:14.950 --> 0:07:17.130 is serious and up to the job. And then again 0:07:17.210 --> 0:07:20.360 in May 25, there's one concrete thing we must insist 0:07:20.390 --> 0:07:23.270 on this administration. Delivering, it matters a lot more than 0:07:23.330 --> 0:07:26.350 debts measured in imaginary money. We're going to deport millions 0:07:26.370 --> 0:07:29.680 and millions of people without that nothing else matters. In 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.500 September 2025, total legal immunity for ICE agents when they're 0:07:33.540 --> 0:07:37.820 on duty. And 21st of September 2025, justice system should 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.400 be just ICE. So there you are aggressively promoting ICE 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.500 being legal. Very aggressive and demanding that millions of people 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.530 be deported. People say, Milo, you've been hoisted by your 0:07:47.550 --> 0:07:48.190 own petard. 0:07:48.370 --> 0:07:50.030 And I don't have a word to say. You got me. 0:07:50.990 --> 0:07:51.350 I'm very. 0:07:52.790 --> 0:07:52.950 Look. 0:07:53.590 --> 0:07:55.970 I mean, they're doing what you told them to do. 0:07:56.790 --> 0:07:57.790 Deport millions of people. 0:07:57.810 --> 0:07:58.350 Well, not really. 0:07:58.370 --> 0:08:00.600 It just happened to include you. They're not doing it lawfully. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.500 And I think... But you did say about Somalis they 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.380 should be deported indiscriminately. Indiscriminately. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.060 Well, I'm obviously exaggerating. 0:08:08.100 --> 0:08:08.800 Deporting them all. 0:08:08.820 --> 0:08:12.500 Obviously exaggerating there. I thought ISIS is supposed to be 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:13.600 deporting criminals. 0:08:14.340 --> 0:08:18.990 So first it's, you got me. Then it's, no, see, 0:08:19.030 --> 0:08:22.530 they're not actually doing it lawfully. And later on, Milo 0:08:22.550 --> 0:08:26.190 plainly states that ISIS is supposed to be deporting criminals. 0:08:27.070 --> 0:08:30.220 Just in the past year, Milo has made multiple posts 0:08:30.300 --> 0:08:33.120 on X The Everything app calling for 10,000 deportations a day. 0:08:35.970 --> 0:08:39.480 has warned that if the Trump administration doesn't get real 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:44.740 fast about left-wing terror and deporting millions of illegals, Americans 0:08:44.820 --> 0:08:49.920 will adopt vigilante justice. In June of 2025, Milo called 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:55.309 for ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections, 0:08:55.350 --> 0:09:01.429 government buildings, with quote, on-the-spot deportation for anyone who can't 0:09:01.550 --> 0:09:04.960 prove they are in the U.S. legally. He has justified 0:09:05.020 --> 0:09:10.950 and celebrated DHS executing anti-ice protesters and has talked about 0:09:11.070 --> 0:09:15.250 getting horny while watching ice raids. Quote, What is the 0:09:15.290 --> 0:09:17.530 etiquette if you are going about your business and find 0:09:17.570 --> 0:09:20.010 yourself observing an ice raid? I want to show a 0:09:20.030 --> 0:09:23.250 little respect and decency. Are you allowed to masturbate where 0:09:23.270 --> 0:09:26.020 you stand, in the street, or should you find some 0:09:26.100 --> 0:09:27.980 kind of awning or motor vehicle? 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.120 Unquote. 0:09:30.380 --> 0:09:34.179 Let's back up for a second. Who is Milo Yiannopoulos 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.380 for those lucky enough to not be in the know? 0:09:38.300 --> 0:09:42.540 Milo is a right-wing provocateur in the truest sense of 0:09:42.570 --> 0:09:47.470 the term. His engagement with politics is based on provoking people. 0:09:48.110 --> 0:09:51.810 One of Milo's protégés who lives in New York has 0:09:51.970 --> 0:09:55.469 described their own life as a form of performance art, 0:09:55.950 --> 0:09:58.750 and I think Milo sees his life in a very 0:09:58.830 --> 0:10:02.340 similar way. I'm not going to go over his whole 0:10:02.500 --> 0:10:05.880 history from the past 10, 20 years, because that would 0:10:05.900 --> 0:10:08.219 take up multiple full-length episodes, and I just don't think 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.480 it matters all that much. But here's the broad strokes 0:10:11.620 --> 0:10:16.530 for context. Milo Yiannopoulos is a British far-right political commentator. 0:10:16.910 --> 0:10:19.960 In 2014, he started working for Breitbart. He was a 0:10:20.010 --> 0:10:23.079 major participant in Gamergate, and in the lead-up to the 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.160 2016 presidential election, he became one of the first big 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:33.500 figures in the then-emerging alt-right. Milo was an early mega-adopter. 0:10:33.900 --> 0:10:37.349 Starting in the summer of 2016, he began promoting a 0:10:37.410 --> 0:10:41.770 series of events called Twinks for Trump. Twinks for Trump 0:10:41.830 --> 0:10:47.290 is a so-called art exhibition featuring scantily clad photos of 0:10:47.460 --> 0:10:51.670 boys or young men wearing Make America Great Again hats. 0:10:52.510 --> 0:10:59.179 Milo's cancelled 2017 autobiography titled Dangerous, which was cancelled by 0:10:59.260 --> 0:11:03.500 Simon & Schuster, discusses the Twinks for Trump art exhibit, 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.900 which struggled to open after the gallery venue pulled out. 0:11:07.420 --> 0:11:11.100 To quote Milo, I bathed in freezing cold pig's blood 0:11:11.140 --> 0:11:15.350 for 45 minutes, surrounded by images of innocent Americans slain 0:11:15.370 --> 0:11:19.890 by terrorists and illegal aliens. Now there was a genuinely 0:11:19.970 --> 0:11:24.740 subversive piece of art. Gay men celebrating the orange antichrist. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.619 Could you imagine if Madonna or Paris Hilton released a 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.280 video with a bunch of underage boys in mega hats? No, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.280 of course you can't. Because the only people pushing the 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:40.719 envelope in art these days are Republicans. Unquote. Keep that 0:11:40.980 --> 0:11:43.900 underage boys comment in mind. It's a surprise tool that 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.650 will help us later. So in this era of the mid-20-teens, 0:11:48.850 --> 0:11:52.290 Milo was a pretty big figure, big enough to earn 0:11:52.330 --> 0:11:55.609 a major book deal. But as I said, his book 0:11:55.630 --> 0:12:01.410 deal fell through because in 2017, Milo suffered a major 0:12:01.530 --> 0:12:06.670 fall off after some pro-pedophilia comments he made in 2016 0:12:06.670 --> 0:12:12.710 went viral ahead of a speaking gig at CPAC 2017. 0:12:12.710 --> 0:12:19.089 In this frenzy around Milo's comments defending pedophilia, CPAC cancelled 0:12:19.190 --> 0:12:23.860 Milo's speaking slot, his autobiography was pulled by Simon & Schuster, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.640 and he resigned from Breitbart. After stepping down from Breitbart, 0:12:29.100 --> 0:12:33.040 Milo addressed public calls for him to be deported, based 0:12:33.100 --> 0:12:36.540 on the assumption that his work visa was tied to 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:42.350 his job at Breitbart, something Milo denied. February 2017 was 0:12:42.510 --> 0:12:47.250 a big month for Milo Yiannopoulos. because right before things 0:12:47.270 --> 0:12:50.650 started going downhill for him, he was also supposed to 0:12:50.809 --> 0:12:54.010 give a speech at UC Berkeley after being invited to 0:12:54.050 --> 0:12:56.970 campus by the college Republicans as a part of his 0:12:57.090 --> 0:13:02.469 quote-unquote dangerous faggot tour, where he goes to various universities 0:13:02.510 --> 0:13:06.589 and tries to make college students upset. Over 1,500 people 0:13:07.170 --> 0:13:10.250 showed up to UC Berkeley to protest his speaking event, 0:13:10.700 --> 0:13:13.500 including about 150 people who the school referred to in 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:18.150 a statement as masked agitators. These would be Black Bloc 0:13:18.330 --> 0:13:23.550 Antifa-style protesters. Based on the size and intensity of the protest, 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.580 the police canceled Milo's speaking event two hours before he 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.480 was scheduled to speak. Masked protesters smashed windows, set off fireworks, 0:13:33.740 --> 0:13:36.880 lit fires, threw rocks at police, and used Molotov cocktails 0:13:37.460 --> 0:13:41.310 in and around campus. This event was one of the 0:13:41.370 --> 0:13:46.140 first times that I can consciously remember Antifa as a 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.880 concept of people like talking about like Antifa. It was 0:13:50.500 --> 0:13:54.400 in the aftermath of this UC Berkeley event. This was 0:13:54.450 --> 0:13:58.470 a pretty big deal. The day after this protest, President 0:13:58.630 --> 0:14:03.010 Donald Trump tweeted, quote, If UC Berkeley does not allow 0:14:03.110 --> 0:14:06.849 free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a 0:14:06.910 --> 0:14:12.140 different point of view, no federal funds? Question mark. This 0:14:12.179 --> 0:14:15.880 protest was a big turning point for left-wing street demos 0:14:16.179 --> 0:14:20.640 during this period and intensified what would become a nationwide 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.230 conflict between right-wing agitators proclaiming their right to free speech 0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:30.470 and so-called anti-fascists seeking to counter and disrupt far-right events 0:14:30.950 --> 0:14:47.970 and de-platform figures like Milo. Around 2017, Milo started becoming 0:14:48.170 --> 0:14:52.990 more of a sideshow figure in the rapidly changing alt-right, 0:14:53.270 --> 0:14:58.190 far-right world. Later in 2017, he married his husband in Hawaii, 0:14:58.830 --> 0:15:02.190 and the world carried on without Milo taking up as 0:15:02.510 --> 0:15:07.030 much oxygen. Which made it all the more, not really surprising, 0:15:07.070 --> 0:15:13.740 but annoying, that in 2021, Milo attempted to emerge from irrelevancy, 0:15:14.220 --> 0:15:18.100 to proclaim that he was no longer gay, that he 0:15:18.140 --> 0:15:23.270 had embraced Catholicism and is now, quote, ex-gay and, quote, 0:15:23.570 --> 0:15:29.530 demoted his husband to housemate. You should remember this for later. Now, 0:15:29.790 --> 0:15:33.170 one of Milo's openly stated goals regarding this, what I'm 0:15:33.190 --> 0:15:38.230 going to call an ex-gay stunt, was to reintroduce conversion 0:15:38.330 --> 0:15:44.080 therapy as a political project. To quote Milo, And unfortunately, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.760 he may have been more successful in this endeavor than 0:15:46.780 --> 0:15:49.020 what one may have assumed back in 2021. Conversion therapy 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.120 laws have since been loosened, and forms of conversion therapy 0:15:52.140 --> 0:15:55.850 are now actively promoted by the federal government for trans youth. 0:16:10.550 --> 0:16:15.580 In 2022, Milo interned for Marjorie Taylor Greene, and maybe 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.880 did some ghostwriting for her, at least according to a 0:16:17.900 --> 0:16:22.520 lower loomer. Also that year, Milo started working for Kanye West, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.740 along with Nick Fuentes, and we all know how that 0:16:25.820 --> 0:16:33.010 turned out. Oh, and little known fact, Milo began working 0:16:33.030 --> 0:16:37.820 for Kanye again this year, after resigning in 2024... because 0:16:37.860 --> 0:16:41.660 of Kanye's decision to launch an adult entertainment division of 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:47.239 the Yeezy brand. During this 2022-2024 time period, Milo was 0:16:47.420 --> 0:16:52.060 burning whatever bridges that hadn't already totally combusted among the 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.900 online right. In 2023, Milo accused Laura Loomer of sexually 0:16:55.950 --> 0:16:59.590 assaulting one of her employees after Loomer criticized Marjorie Taylor 0:16:59.610 --> 0:17:02.730 Greene on Twitter. Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene have beefed 0:17:02.770 --> 0:17:06.889 for years. Loomer has said that Greene saw her as 0:17:07.450 --> 0:17:10.920 like a rival to the queen of the MAGA throne, 0:17:11.580 --> 0:17:14.620 and has claimed that Greene was responsible for Trump not 0:17:14.700 --> 0:17:19.139 hiring Loomer in 2023. Though more recently, Loomer, who is 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.370 strongly pro-Israel, has attacked Marjorie Taylor Greene for her opinions 0:17:24.490 --> 0:17:29.270 on Gaza and Israel. But Milo and Loomer had been friends, 0:17:29.330 --> 0:17:33.450 or at least friendly, since at least 2018. And in 2020, 0:17:33.740 --> 0:17:38.470 Milo worked on Loomer's first unsuccessful congressional campaign. They suffered 0:17:38.510 --> 0:17:41.689 a pretty severe falling out around when Milo started working 0:17:41.770 --> 0:17:46.189 for Marjorie Taylor Greene, severe enough to possibly lead to 0:17:46.270 --> 0:17:50.080 his deportation. And since then, Milo has not done himself 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:55.000 any favors. After Trump took office again, Milo has been 0:17:55.420 --> 0:18:01.300 reigniting old conflicts between himself and the mega hardline influencers 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.980 who defend Trump. any and all of Trump's actions. For years, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.419 Milo has claimed to have blackmail and a bunch of 0:18:08.500 --> 0:18:12.580 right-wing influencers. A few years ago, Milo accused Benny Johnson 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:17.790 of secretly being gay. Johnson promised to sue Milo in response, 0:18:18.330 --> 0:18:21.450 which he never did and now says he couldn't do 0:18:21.850 --> 0:18:26.330 because Milo was running from ICE. In response to Milo 0:18:26.430 --> 0:18:32.590 posting that President Trump has lost his way, On March 16th, 2026, 0:18:32.590 --> 0:18:37.270 Loomer wrote, Why hasn't the Trump administration deported Milo? He's 0:18:37.310 --> 0:18:41.600 allegedly living in Los Angeles on an expired visa. He's 0:18:41.650 --> 0:18:45.399 calling for regime change in the U.S. and posts Holocaust 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.280 denial as an immigrant. It's time for him to be deported. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.399 He didn't campaign for Trump. Milo is a foreigner, unquote. 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.320 From what I can find, this post by Loomer says, 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.619 is the first time she accused Milo of being in 0:19:00.660 --> 0:19:05.109 the country illegally and called for his deportation. Next month, 0:19:05.330 --> 0:19:09.870 in April, Loomer said that, quote-unquote, sources told her that 0:19:09.990 --> 0:19:14.820 Milo was facing deportation proceedings. And after Milo was deported 0:19:14.859 --> 0:19:19.040 last month, Loomer told reporter Will Sommer that she reported 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:23.719 Milo to DHS years ago. Here's border czar Tom Homan 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.440 on CNN saying, being asked whether Laura Loomer put ICE 0:19:27.660 --> 0:19:28.679 on Milo's trail. 0:19:29.980 --> 0:19:32.070 A lot of people tipped ICE off. A lot of 0:19:32.090 --> 0:19:34.490 people was calling ICE. She said she was one of them. 0:19:34.530 --> 0:19:37.590 She probably was. But bottom line is, it doesn't matter. 0:19:37.609 --> 0:19:40.050 He was ordered to be moved by an immigration judge, 0:19:40.090 --> 0:19:41.630 and ICE's job is to execute that order. 0:19:42.250 --> 0:19:45.230 On Piers Morgan, Milo insisted that he did not overstay 0:19:45.250 --> 0:19:48.609 a visa. Quote, But even if I had, things are 0:19:48.650 --> 0:19:52.330 supposed to happen in a particular way. order. Everything that 0:19:52.410 --> 0:19:56.950 happened was very off, unquote. Milo says he was swarmed 0:19:57.020 --> 0:20:00.260 by 15 ICE agents after he got off the plane 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.520 in Louisiana and said that two ICE agents recognized him 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:09.060 and said, yeah, I'm not doing this and this is 0:20:09.140 --> 0:20:12.879 not what I got into this for, and quote-unquote, walked 0:20:12.980 --> 0:20:17.300 off the job. Milo also told Piers Morgan that when 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.840 he got to Houston, ICE agents were getting calls from 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:25.679 Washington every 20 minutes to inquire about Milo's whereabouts. 0:20:26.540 --> 0:20:29.350 Well, people on the left have come forward, interestingly, who 0:20:29.380 --> 0:20:32.810 don't even like you, and to say that this is 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.910 a disturbing infringement, potentially, of your of your First Amendment 0:20:36.970 --> 0:20:39.590 rights to free speech, that you're being punished for your 0:20:39.690 --> 0:20:43.310 views of Donald Trump and the Trump administration and so on, 0:20:43.619 --> 0:20:47.960 and that Laura Loomer, who is extremely devoted to President 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.980 Trump and in his ear all the time, has used 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.600 your association with Candace Owens and with Marjorie Taylor Greene 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:58.080 and others, has decided to basically shut you up by 0:20:58.119 --> 0:20:59.240 sending you back to the UK? 0:21:00.970 --> 0:21:04.040 I don't know. how he can come to any other conclusion. 0:21:04.060 --> 0:21:06.900 This is not how immigration systems are supposed to work. 0:21:07.460 --> 0:21:10.070 And there are, you know, seven, eight, nine things that 0:21:10.109 --> 0:21:12.010 are supposed to happen that do for everybody else that 0:21:12.070 --> 0:21:14.869 didn't in my case, because they were so anxious to 0:21:14.910 --> 0:21:16.570 just throw me on a plane because they know how 0:21:16.590 --> 0:21:18.250 much more difficult it gets once you know, once you 0:21:18.710 --> 0:21:20.830 once you're out. But but, you know, I have very 0:21:20.850 --> 0:21:23.870 good lawyers and they do not believe this will stand 0:21:23.910 --> 0:21:24.170 at all. 0:21:24.790 --> 0:21:28.419 On CNN, Tom Homan denied that the Trump administration was 0:21:28.690 --> 0:21:31.700 chose to make an example of Yiannopoulos by deporting him 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:32.780 to send a message. 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.760 We don't deport people based on political affiliation. Again, as 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:38.660 soon as we get an order of removal, our goal 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.940 is to remove them as quick as possible, regardless of 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.480 who they are. He overstayed his visa. I believe it 0:21:43.500 --> 0:21:46.220 was a visitor's visa, but I'm sure. But he overstayed 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.080 the visa. He was ordered to appear in immigration court. 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.880 He didn't show up. The judge ordered him deported. So 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.960 once ICE gets an order of deportation from a federal judge, 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.720 Their job's to execute that order, and that's what they did. 0:21:59.369 --> 0:22:02.909 On Piers Morgan's show, Milo pushed back on Homan's and 0:22:02.950 --> 0:22:07.670 DHS's claims about his visa and legal status. Milo insists 0:22:07.770 --> 0:22:11.010 that he never overstayed a visa and did not know 0:22:11.030 --> 0:22:13.609 he had a final removal order. 0:22:14.109 --> 0:22:16.490 The thing that astonishes me, I have to say, is 0:22:16.530 --> 0:22:20.109 to see the various bits of the American government, all 0:22:20.130 --> 0:22:22.310 the machinery of the government, kind of lining up to 0:22:22.369 --> 0:22:25.570 lie in the manner that Tom Homan just did. I mean, 0:22:25.609 --> 0:22:27.810 I want to be completely clear with you and with 0:22:27.830 --> 0:22:30.830 your viewers. Like, I manage, I don't really do, you know, 0:22:30.869 --> 0:22:33.270 the right wing provocateur thing anymore. I manage lawyers for 0:22:33.290 --> 0:22:36.109 a living. You know, I'm pretty organized and together person 0:22:36.150 --> 0:22:38.040 when I'm, you know, when I'm not being silly on Twitter. 0:22:38.820 --> 0:22:40.960 And I'm married to an American. There's no reason I 0:22:40.980 --> 0:22:42.919 would take a risk like this. I didn't need to 0:22:42.940 --> 0:22:45.300 have a stay visa. There were dozens of companies that 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.800 could have sponsored me. And I'm married to an American. 0:22:48.619 --> 0:22:51.910 Milo later said that he first entered the U.S. legally 0:22:52.070 --> 0:22:55.990 under an O-1 visa years ago. That's a temporary work 0:22:56.030 --> 0:23:01.619 visa for, quote, individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement. Milo 0:23:01.650 --> 0:23:03.390 told peers that he's actually had a few of these 0:23:03.470 --> 0:23:08.240 O-1 visas, and the last one he had expired in 2019. 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:12.379 But before that happened, in 2017, Milo married an American 0:23:12.420 --> 0:23:14.379 citizen and got a green card. 0:23:14.980 --> 0:23:19.940 Filed for an adjustment of status. basically to switch tracks 0:23:20.020 --> 0:23:22.639 from a visa to a green card. And that's what 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.560 I did. Went to the interviews and that's. 0:23:24.460 --> 0:23:26.980 What I had. And you got a green card? Yes. 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.420 So if you have a green card, on what basis 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.630 have they thrown you out of the country? 0:23:34.070 --> 0:23:37.030 They sent notices to an address they knew I didn't 0:23:37.070 --> 0:23:40.290 live at anymore. Two addresses ago in Florida, almost 10 0:23:40.290 --> 0:23:43.970 years ago, in order to get an in absentia hearing, 0:23:44.170 --> 0:23:47.670 which is basically they show up with a judge, they 0:23:47.690 --> 0:23:49.250 tell the judge, you didn't show up, you didn't respond 0:23:49.270 --> 0:23:51.369 to the notices, and they ask the judge to give 0:23:51.410 --> 0:23:53.510 them an order. That's what happened. 0:23:54.250 --> 0:23:58.000 So Milo claims that notices regarding his immigration status and 0:23:58.340 --> 0:24:02.119 court summons were purposefully sent to an address that the 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.680 government knew he didn't live at so that he wouldn't 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:07.580 show up to court so that they could get a 0:24:07.619 --> 0:24:11.030 judge to agree to deport him. He's arguing that all 0:24:11.050 --> 0:24:14.710 of this was politically motivated because he has enemies close 0:24:14.750 --> 0:24:19.359 to the administration and was essentially set up. Milo also 0:24:19.470 --> 0:24:23.240 told Piers that, quote unquote, they had previously canceled his 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.740 work permit without telling him and claimed that the ICE 0:24:26.820 --> 0:24:29.980 agents who detained him said that they, quote unquote, deliberately 0:24:30.060 --> 0:24:35.030 excluded Milo's lawyer from the immigration court process. Milo did 0:24:35.070 --> 0:24:38.170 claim that he had given his new address to immigration authorities, 0:24:38.890 --> 0:24:42.389 but that they only mailed these hearing notices to his 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:46.359 old address in Florida. And what of his green card? 0:24:46.740 --> 0:24:48.320 Is your green card still valid? 0:24:48.820 --> 0:24:52.220 No, because they cancelled it without telling me. When? That 0:24:52.260 --> 0:24:52.740 I don't know. 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.520 But in what period of time could it have been cancelled? 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.740 Well, it must have been cancelled sometime in the last year. 0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.930 I mean, you presume, have you travelled to and from America? 0:25:02.670 --> 0:25:04.530 I happen not to have done the last year. When 0:25:04.570 --> 0:25:06.230 was the last time you entered America? 0:25:06.250 --> 0:25:07.390 Uh. 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:09.020 probably two years ago. 0:25:10.140 --> 0:25:13.460 So Milo also says his green card was quote-unquote cancelled 0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:18.130 within the last year without him knowing it. Revoking green 0:25:18.150 --> 0:25:21.450 cards is a very serious civil rights issue. This is 0:25:21.470 --> 0:25:24.170 something we have spoken on this show about the Trump 0:25:24.190 --> 0:25:28.929 administration's efforts to revoke green cards from protesters speaking out 0:25:29.100 --> 0:25:32.480 about the genocide in Palestine. The issue of green card 0:25:32.500 --> 0:25:36.609 revocation is a serious one, though Milo admits that The 0:25:36.650 --> 0:25:39.230 last time he entered the country with his green card 0:25:39.350 --> 0:25:43.390 was two years ago. And this is interesting. Milo says 0:25:43.410 --> 0:25:46.970
