TikTok Star Khaby Lame Detained and Deported from the US

Khaby Lame, the wildly popular TikTok star, found himself unexpectedly detained and subsequently deported from the United States on June 6th, 2025. The incident unfolded at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport, where authorities apprehended Lame for violating US immigration laws. According to a statement released by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), Lame, an Italian citizen born in Senegal, entered the US on April 30th and overstayed his visa. "Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S." the statement read. While Lame's visa was valid until July 30th, the discrepancy led to his detention and subsequent deportation. The incident has sparked debate, with some accusing former President Donald Trump of using Lame as an example to deter others. However, ICE's statement focused solely on the visa violation, avoiding political commentary. The video concludes with Khaby Lame seemingly back in Italy, his situation resolved. The incident highlights the importance of adhering to visa regulations when traveling internationally.
