The White House “border czar,” Tom Homan, denied on Sunday that deporting the British far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos just a day after being arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amounted to preferential treatment.

    No shit, let's see these dickheads suffer what they want to visit on people, sending them to the worst countries they can pay to take them, if not paying to keep them in prison for life in those countries with no charges.

    Which is in violation of US law. We are not supposed to deport people to places they will be tortured, let alone pay for them to be tortured.

    Deport this “reformed” gay man to Russia or UAE instead.

    What an oddly specific denial.

    Really don't think Ice was going to do shit to this guy. There's something else going on here

    To ICE he's just another easy statistic. No one else actually cares about the dirtbag, they got rid of him quickly just so they don't have to deal with him anymore here instead. He's easily replaceable and he's already shown he can be a pain in the ass. Get him out of the country, and he can be forgotten.

    I guess I'm out of the loop. Did he break formation on one of their issues? I thought he was one of the people responsible for maga happening at all in 2026

    You assume they have a problem throwing someone under the bus for no reason. He's just not useful anymore, no use means no protection. Especially since they can now use him as a data point to "prove" they're deporting everyone here illegally, even supporters. Just like how fascist outlets like Fox News occasionally have small segments that are accurate or against the narrative, just to point to as some sort of proof that they're not pure fascist propaganda.

    Probably didn't help he actually did overstay his visa, and did not appear in court as required so he did have an existing deportation order... and also somehow angered Laura Loomer who is one of Trump's current "advisors". Seems rather similar to the adage about not committing more than one crime at a time.

    Ironically, his deportation is actually a completely accurate and legitimate one with the system working exactly as it should.

    Generally they don't do that to straight(sic) white dudes. Maybe I'm overthinking but it's sus. I think he's fucked something up lowkey and deportation is a better outcome for him. Who's getting deported to the UK? that's not the point of ICE

    He ain't straight enough for them. I don't even know how he identifies now but pre trump 1.0 he was out and proud. I think he's called himself "ex-gay" in recent years. That's a whole lot of shit they don't want associated with them. Easy to send him packing.

    Ahhh that makes more sense. I guess I had assumed that his born again bit had been positively received. Also this is a good thermometer for where we must be at in the progress of them purging their undesirables. Didn't the Log Cabin Republican group just get disavowed this week too or something?

    I think the log cabin Republicans just disavowed transgender people actually. Though the log cabin doesn't exactly get a seat at the table really.

    Well that's interesting.

    ICE apparently hastily deported this shit-stain rather than have a notorious media personality gain personal info, which they could have later publicized, about the undoubtedly torturous conditions in ICE "detention". (Way too euphemistic a term for what ICE is doing.)

    Still glad that the motherfucker got his face eaten by his own leopards though. If you didn't know, Milo was originally canceled for admitting he was at a pedo party and decided not to report it.

    Technically true. It wasn't about sparing him, it's about making sure someone Republican voters pay attention to doesn't publicly describe the reality of ICE detention.

    There is a story here. The administration would intervene for him if he was in their employ.

    Yiannopolous has always been a bit squishy on prez. I recall him repudiating him at certain points. He's a massive piece of fucking shit and a total douche in his own right don't get me wrong.

    But he pissed someone important off. He did call out some maga bigwig for banging young men in his hotel, while his wife openly cried about it in a hotel lobby, for 3 days if I recall. That could be the offense idk, and I don't remember or care whom this maga douchebag is.

    I would like to know if there are any other reasons he could be now disfavoured, because if he was in ther employ to their satisfaction, this would not have happened. He did something that pissed them off.

    Supposedly it's because of past work with Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's kind of the leader of the MAGA turncoats, and he's in her orbit, he's vulnerable, they're trying to pump up their numbers, and he made himself an easy target, so of course they can't resist going for him.

    That would have been a chance for him to learn how life turns out under a Nazi regime like the one he would love to install.
