Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos groused that getting arrested and deported from the US left him feeling like an “MS-13 gang member” — and “ashamed” of his support of President Trump and his tough immigration policies.
The booted Brit complained to Piers Morgan about his treatment last Thursday when he was busted for failing to show at a hearing more than a month after getting a final-removal notice.
“I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you. They put you in manacles, your hands, your feet, chained together,” he bellyached.
“Everybody is arrested like a MS-13 gang member. And it hurts a lot more than it looks like on television.”
The 41-year-old British national, who entered the US legally in 2019, was arrested at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Aug. 27 after the “illegal alien” failed to show up for a hearing following a final removal order issued July 22, the Department of Homeland Security told The Post.
He was deported a day later, but Yiannopoulos, previously a staunch advocate for deporting illegal immigrants, wasn’t a fan of ICE’s hospitality once he was in custody, saying he had never been more frightened in his life.
He told Morgan that the government’s version of events leading up to his arrest was “a lie from top to bottom,” and that he only missed the immigration hearing because the notices were sent to old addresses.
“I’m married to an American,” he said, even though he is in the middle of a divorce while calling himself an “ex-gay.” --->READ MORE HERE
Right-wing commentator deported from US alleged he did not eat for 24 hours and was denied access to his lawyers
Milo Yiannopoulos has claimed he was treated like a “gang member” after being arrested and deported from the US.
The Right-wing provocateur, who was flown back to Britain on Friday, claimed he did not eat for 24 hours and was moved between detention facilities so he would not have access to his lawyers.
Mr Yiannopoulos, a controversial figure who rose to prominence in 2016 as a supporter of Donald Trump, labelled the US president “crazy” and a “warmonger” in an interview with Piers Morgan on Tuesday.
Speaking in London, he recalled “weeping like an old woman for an hour” after his arrest, which he called “physically degrading” and “frightening”.
“I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalised the brutality is in America,” he said. “The manner in which they arrest you. They put you in manacles, your hands, your feet, chained together.
“Everybody is arrested like a MS-13 gang member,” he said, referring to the brutal Salvadoran criminal group that the Trump administration has attempted to dismantle.
Mr Yiannopoulos claimed he was arrested by 15 immigration agents at a Louisiana airport who “swarmed” him, and that he was moved around every three hours to keep him away from his lawyers.
“I didn’t eat for 24 hours. I was promised a nurse that never came. Promised a phone call, it never came. I was promised all kinds of things that never came,” he said. “This was not a normal, lawful, process.” --->READ MORE HERE
