Milo Yiannopoulos Detained by ICE in Louisiana

米洛·伊安诺波卢斯在路易斯安那州被美国移民及海关执法局拘留

Milo Yiannopoulos, a British national known for his near-constant reinventions as a vizier within far-right American politics for more than a decade, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana, according to the department’s records. 据美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)的记录显示,英国公民米洛·伊安诺波卢斯(Milo Yiannopoulos)已被该部门在路易斯安那州拘留。十多年来,他以在极右翼美国政治圈中不断变换身份、充当“谋士”而闻名。

While it’s not clear which detention facility Yiannopoulos is currently being held in, the ICE directory instructs any family or legal representatives to contact the Enforcement and Removal Office in Alexandria, Louisiana, a processing center for the central part of the state, about 200 miles from New Orleans. 虽然目前尚不清楚伊安诺波卢斯被关押在哪个拘留中心,但ICE名录指示其家人或法律代表联系位于路易斯安那州亚历山大市的执法与遣返办公室。该办公室是该州中部的一个处理中心,距离新奥尔良约200英里。

In an emailed statement, a spokesperson from the US Department of Homeland Security says that Yiannopoulos legally entered the country through New York City in May 2019. “He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” the statement says. “Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing.” The DHS spokesperson says Yiannopoulos was detained on Thursday, August 27 and that “he will remain in ICE custody pending removal.” 美国国土安全部的一位发言人在电子邮件声明中表示,伊安诺波卢斯于2019年5月通过纽约市合法入境。“他选择逾期滞留,违反了我国法律,”声明称,“由于未出席移民听证会,移民法官已于7月22日对他下达了最终遣返令。”国土安全部发言人表示,伊安诺波卢斯于8月27日周四被拘留,并将“在等待遣返期间继续被ICE羁押”。

TMZ first broke the news of Yiannopoulos’ detention. He has previously lived and worked in the US, allegedly on an O-1 visa, which is for individuals with extraordinary abilities in the arts, sciences, and other areas, including journalism—but he has never been a US citizen. TMZ率先报道了伊安诺波卢斯被拘留的消息。他此前曾在美国生活和工作,据称持有的是O-1签证(针对在艺术、科学及其他领域——包括新闻业——具有杰出才能的人士),但他从未获得过美国公民身份。

Yiannopoulos got his start in US politics at the right-wing website Breitbart, where he worked from 2014 to 2017. He left the job after his remarks about sexual intercourse between adults and young adolescent boys, which he said could be “perfectly consensual,” resulted in a backlash. He has dipped in and out of right-wing circles for years, and in 2022 claimed to have arranged an infamous 2022 dinner with Kanye West, white nationalist Nick Fuentes, and Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago “to make Trump’s life miserable.” 伊安诺波卢斯在美国政坛的起步是在右翼网站Breitbart,他于2014年至2017年在此工作。在发表关于成年人与未成年男孩之间性行为的言论(他称其可能“完全是自愿的”)并引发强烈抵制后,他离开了该职位。多年来,他一直在右翼圈子中进进出出。2022年,他声称自己安排了那场臭名昭著的晚宴,参与者包括坎耶·韦斯特(Kanye West)、白人民族主义者尼克·富恩特斯(Nick Fuentes)和唐纳德·特朗普,地点在海湖庄园,目的是“让特朗普的日子不好过”。

Yiannopoulos married his long-term boyfriend in Hawaii in 2017 but in 2021 claimed he had become heterosexual and Roman Catholic, and announced plans to open a gay conversion therapy facility in Florida. He went on to work with Fuentes as well as former US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. 伊安诺波卢斯于2017年在夏威夷与长期交往的男友结婚,但在2021年声称自己已转为异性恋并皈依罗马天主教,并宣布计划在佛罗里达州开设一家同性恋矫正治疗机构。此后,他继续与富恩特斯以及美国前众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林(Marjorie Taylor Greene)合作。

Yiannopoulos also serves as spokesman for Kanye West, who is scheduled to perform at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Friday night as part of his 2026 tour. The longtime provocateur joined West’s theoretical 2024 presidential campaign in late 2022, but walked away days after the rapper espoused Nazi beliefs and praised Adolf Hitler on conspiracist Alex Jones’ Infowars livestream. The two continually reunited and split over the following years, with Yiannopoulis claiming in a series of X posts in 2024 that West was addicted to nitrous oxide. 伊安诺波卢斯还担任坎耶·韦斯特的发言人,韦斯特原定于周五晚在新奥尔良的凯撒超级穹顶体育场进行其2026年巡演的演出。这位长期以来的煽动者于2022年底加入了韦斯特的2024年总统竞选团队,但在韦斯特于阴谋论者亚历克斯·琼斯(Alex Jones)的《信息战》(Infowars)直播中宣扬纳粹信仰并赞美阿道夫·希特勒几天后,他便离开了。在随后的几年里,两人分分合合,伊安诺波卢斯在2024年的一系列X帖子中声称韦斯特对一氧化二氮(笑气)上瘾。

Throughout his evolution as a MAGA figure, Yiannopoulos has rarely shied away from highly public battles with enemies and rivals. Among the most outspoken is the Islamophobic conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who on Friday pinned a post on X announcing his detention by ICE—and appeared to take partial credit for it. 在作为“让美国再次伟大”(MAGA)人物的演变过程中,伊安诺波卢斯很少回避与敌人和竞争对手进行公开的对抗。其中最直言不讳的是伊斯兰恐惧症阴谋论者劳拉·卢默(Laura Loomer),她周五在X上置顶了一条帖子,宣布了他被ICE拘留的消息,并似乎将部分功劳归于自己。

“I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally where he incited violence against President Trump and worked for Marjorie Traitor Greene,” Loomer wrote. “Milo is going to be deported back to the UK where he can live among the Muslims he has recently chosen to embrace. Today is a great day for America.” “我是第一个报道米洛非法滞留美国事实的人,他在美国煽动针对特朗普总统的暴力,并为‘叛徒’玛乔丽·格林工作,”卢默写道。“米洛将被遣返回英国,在那里他可以和他最近选择拥抱的穆斯林生活在一起。今天是美国伟大的一天。”

Last summer, Yiannopoulos endorsed a hardline anti-immigration stance on his own X account. “There is one concrete thing we must insist on this administration delivering,” he wrote. “We have got to deport millions and millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters.” 去年夏天,伊安诺波卢斯在自己的X账号上支持强硬的反移民立场。“我们必须坚持让本届政府实现一件具体的事情,”他写道,“我们必须驱逐数以百万计的人。如果不这样做,其他一切都无关紧要。”
