Tom Homan, the White House 'border czar,' on Sunday denied that the one-day turnaround between British commentator Milo Yiannopoulos's arrest and his deportation to the United Kingdom amounted to preferential treatment. Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, Homan said Yiannopoulos had been ordered removed by a federal immigration judge on July 22 after failing to appear at a hearing, and that ICE's role was to 'execute that order.' The rapid removal has prompted questions because many others deported by ICE have first spent weeks or months in detention.
