Was ICE's detention of Milo Yiannopolous a case of weaponization against a political gadfly who'd exposed Laura Loomer?
Loomer has explicitly claimed credit for ICE's jailing and impending deportation of Milo, claiming she was first to report his immigration status to the feds, and bragging that he was "Loomered"
Milo had become a leading right-wing opponent of Trump's war on Iran, and an outspoken critic of Israel. Loomer implied this was the reason for his targeting by ICE. Left unmentioned was Milo's former friendship and role as Loomer's communications director during her failed run for Congress.
He knew her on an intimate basis, and had come to resent her for her alleged personal conduct. Journalist Nina Burleigh reported that Milo accused Loomer of sexually harassing a male staffer on the campaign, claiming it prompted him to quit. Milo has even called Loomer a "rapist."
During a 2024 interview with Tim Pool, Milo said he personally witnessed Loomer boasting to friends in Palm Beach that she had performed a "sex act" on Donald Trump.
When Bill Maher referenced Milo's story on his HBO show, claiming Trump "might" be "fucking" Loomer, the right-wing propagandist sued the comedian, insisting that he cost her rides on Air Force One, along with the job she yearned for in his administration.
According to Burleigh, the judge presiding over Loomer's lawsuit against Maher is "demanding to see her financial information, an order to which she has so far not submitted. Her case is not being helped by 'four White House officials' who recently leaked to Bari Weiss’s Free Press that 'Laura is more trouble than she’s worth' and speculated that she is influenced by lobby firms."
During his interview with Tim Pool, Milo said he told Trump allies that Loomer "is not Jewish, she made it up... She ordered a Star of David necklace off the internet." Milo went on to recount how he witnessed Loomer draw a pentagram on a folder she was holding ahead of a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition of Palm Beach, thinking it was a Star of David.
Milo posted his comments on Twitter/X, boasting that he'd "removed Laura Loomer from the President’s orbit, at the urging of his staff and family."
It's still unclear whether this is why the Trump admin targeted Milo. But if he was really "Loomered," as Loomer claims, it would seem that the real goal of his deportation was to remove one of the key sources of compromising allegations about a fanatical Trump loyalist who apparently still plays a pivotal role in the administration's propaganda campaigns – Air Force One rides or not.
