Far-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos alleges he was “swarmed” by Homeland Security agents and repeatedly mistreated ahead of his deportation to the UK last week. Yiannopoulos, who rose to fame as an online firebrand championing Donald Trump and his hard-line immigration policies, among other issues, claimed that once he was in detention, he was denied food for a day and moved every few hours to prevent contact with his lawyers. Before his removal from the country, the 41-year-old figure repeatedly demanded aggressive immigration enforcement.
When pressed by Morgan over his past comments, which called for sweeping arrests and the “indiscriminate” deportation of Somalis in America, Yiannopoulos called his past remarks “mean-spirited, exaggerated jokes” and said he was “ashamed” of having supported Donald Trump.
