Tom Homan denies British far-right commentator, who was deported one day after arrest, got preferential treatment
Yiannopoulos’s removal one day after his arrest, when many others who have been deported had first endured lengthy detention center incarcerations, has prompted questions about whether he received preferential treatment in that respect. Homan said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, was trying to speed up the deportation process.
DHS had quickly publicized Yiannopoulos’s arrest on Thursday at an airport in New Orleans – where he may have travelled to attend a concert by rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West, on Friday at the city’s Caesars Superdome.
Officials with DHS touted Yiannopoulos’s arrest on Friday. By Saturday morning, Yiannopoulos’s name was removed from a list of people in ICE detention, and DHS confirmed that he had been deported to the UK on Friday – one day after his arrest.
Send him to Azkaban!
He looks like if Jacob Rees Mogg was in Slitheryn
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
Its really nice they sent him back to the UK instead of Libya, or El Salvador, or Haiti wherever the fuck else the US is “deporting” people now
