Khaby Lame Leaves US After Visa Detention

Khaby Lame, the world's most-followed TikTok creator with over 162 million followers, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport on June 6 for overstaying his temporary visa after arriving on April 30. ICE confirmed that Lame, an Italian citizen born in Senegal, was granted 'voluntary departure' and has since left the country, with reports indicating he subsequently posted from São Paulo, Brazil. Conservative Gen Z influencer Bo Loudon, who is linked to Barron Trump, publicly claimed credit for alerting authorities to Lame’s visa overstay, although ICE has not confirmed any role by Loudon. Lame attended major events like the Met Gala during his U.S. visit but has not commented on his detention or Loudon's claims. The case has fueled online controversy amid broader immigration enforcement efforts. Lame remains a major figure in global entertainment due to his popular silent reaction videos.
