Homan Denies Yiannopoulos Deported Quickly to Bypass ICE Detention

Pam Key — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:17:37 +0000

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Trump Border Czar Tom Homan denied that Milo Yiannopoulos received preferential treatment because he was deported a day after being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Partial transcript as follows: BASH: I want to start with the case of Milo Yiannopoulos. There is a lot we don’t know here. What kind of visa was he under? And did he apply to extend that visa? HOMAN: Look, it’s my understanding, looking at the Department of Homeland Security press release, that he overstayed his visa. I believe it was a visitor visa, but I’m not sure. But he overstayed the visa. He was ordered to appear in immigration court. He didn’t show up. The judge ordered him deported. So, once ICE gets an order of deportation from a federal judge, their job is to execute that order, and that’s what they did. He had his due process, ordered removed by a federal judge, and ICE removed him. It’s that simple. BASH: Homeland Security said he was arrested Thursday. We understand he was deported the next day. That seems like a pretty quick turnaround. Was he given preferential treatment to leave, instead of remaining in an

Bob Price — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:08:47 +0000

On Monday, Texas General Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham unveiled a sweeping, multi-front initiative aimed at cementing the state’s economic independence, fortifying its energy grid against growing demands, and expanding state-led border security operations. Grounded in the agency’s historic mission to steward public lands, the ambitious plan tackles everything from breaking China’s foreign monopoly on rare earth minerals to tackling long-term water scarcity and restoring the historic Alamo grounds. In an op-ed published Monday on Breitbart Texas where she called the GLO an “engine driving the Texas economy,” Buckingham outlined how the agency is working to insulate the state from external threats—ranging from federal overreach and global supply chain vulnerabilities to cartel activities along the southern border. “The General Land Office has been an engine driving the Texas economy, but we are taking that to the whole next level,” Buckingham said. “We are going to power, produce, build, grow, and protect Texas like we’ve been doing, but people are going to understand more directly the impact on their lives.” Expanding Grid Reliability and Breaking China’s Rare Earth Monopoly Central to the GLO’s mission is strengthening Texas’s energy infrastructure. Buckingham emphasized the need to bring more dispatchable power onto the electric
