White House Border Czar Tom Homan said that British national Milo Yiannopoulos was detained and deported after his visa expired.

He explained that this process saves taxpayer money and detention space, as it allows for quicker processing of detainees once a judge orders their removal. According to Homan, Yiannopoulos had an immigration hearing scheduled for July that he did not attend, which resulted in a deportation order.

He indicated that the goal is to reduce the average length of stay in detention and execute removal orders as soon as possible. ## Disagreement on preferential treatment RedState reported that Dana Bash asked Homan if Yiannopoulos was given preferential treatment for a quick departure instead of remaining in an ICE detention facility. Homan responded by saying, "No. We've been working steadily in the last few months on getting people out quicker." He added that the process saves taxpayer money and detention space. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated reports or the centre-rated digest mention that Milo Yiannopoulos was working for Kanye West at the time of his detention, a detail included in the full report from RedState. ## Who covered it Shares of the 8 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 13% (1) - Centre: 12% (1) - Right: 75% (6) 0 of 8 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

The report noted that the Department of Homeland Security had previously stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the British national after he overstayed his visa. ### Right - The right-rated reports focused on Tom Homan's statements regarding the deportation of Milo Yiannopoulos and the broader immigration enforcement strategy. RedState, in its full report, quoted Homan saying the quick deportation is part of a new push to "Get them out quick. Open those beds up for more detainees to be held." This outlet also noted that Yiannopoulos had an immigration hearing scheduled in July which he did not attend, leading to a deportation order.
