Milo Miles, a Canadian adult-film model and winner of the 2026 GayVN Award for Best Oral Scene, has been barred from entering the United States after being detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at Toronto Pearson International Airport in January.

Detention and Ban

Miles was traveling to attend and present at the 2026 GayVN Awards when he was stopped at a CBP preclearance checkpoint. The incident occurred despite Miles' previous participation in the event remotely, where he secured a win during the ceremony.

According to Miles, who is based in Toronto, Ontario, he was detained for an unspecified period of time before being denied entry into the United States. As a result, Miles now faces a 10-year ban from entering the country, unless government authorities authorize him otherwise.

CBP Preclearance Program

The CBP preclearance program allows U.S. agents to screen travelers at select international airports before departure. This program is designed to inspect travelers prior to boarding U.S.-bound flights, as stated on the CBP's website.

Miles shared that he was subjected to questioning by CBP officers about his sexuality and sex life during the detention. He claimed that border agents questioned him about how he "had so many 'gay clothes'" with him and failed to understand why he was carrying Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) pills in his suitcase.

Background and Response

Miles, who became a Canadian citizen under refugee status after his family fled Colombia when he was a child, has spoken out about the incident. He stated that he was subjected to derogatory comments and an unsettling focus on his sexual orientation and sex life during the interrogation.

A spokesperson for Customs and Border Patrol alleged to The Independent that Miles "admitted to a CBP officer he received payment for engaging in prostitution in the United States—a crime—while in the United States, he was denied entry into our country." However, this claim has not been independently verified.
