He was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and subsequently sent back to his home country. In an interview following his deportation, Yiannopoulos stated that he feels ashamed of his previous support for Donald Trump.
Yiannopoulos recounted his experience with ICE, describing the arrest process as being similar to how a gang member would be treated. He said he was put in manacles and chained together.
