Breaking News: TikTok Sensation Khaby Lame Detained and Allowed to Leave the U.S.
Las Vegas, NV – In a surprising turn of events, the renowned TikTok star Khaby Lame, known for his humorous and expressive content, was arrested on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose real name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained by immigration agents but was later authorized to leave the country without an expulsion order.
Detention and Voluntary Departure
A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed the details in a statement. Khaby Lame arrived in the United States on April 30 and “passed the duration of his visa,” the spokesperson said. The detention and subsequent voluntary departure of Lame come at a time of heightened immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump, who has recently overseen raids in Los Angeles that have sparked days of protests.
The voluntary departure granted to Lame allows individuals who risk expulsion from the U.S. to avoid an expulsion order in their immigration file, which could prevent them from returning to the United States for up to ten years.
