Italian-Senegalese TikTok star Khaby Lame, with 162M followers, has left the US after being briefly detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. Lame, 25, was granted voluntary departure, avoiding a deportation order that could have barred him from the US for 10 years. His detention marks one of the highest-profile cases in Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. Bo Loudon, a self-described pro-Trump influencer, claimed he flagged Lame’s status. The UNICEF ambassador rose to fame during the pandemic with his viral silent videos. He has not commented publicly since the incident or responded to media requests. (PC: X)
