“Famous TikToker Khaby Lame has been arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for being an illegal alien.”

Multiple authoritative news organizations, including the Associated Press, NPR, and CBC, have confirmed that Khaby Lame (legal name Seringe Khabane Lame) was detained by ICE agents on June 6, 2025, at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. According to an official statement from an ICE spokesperson, Lame entered the U.S. on April 30, 2025, and was detained for 'immigration violations' specifically related to overstaying the terms of his visa. He was granted 'voluntary departure,' which allowed him to leave the country without a formal deportation order or the associated legal consequences of a forced removal. While social media personality Bo Loudon was among the first to publicize the detention, the core facts of the detention and subsequent departure have been verified by federal immigration authorities and reported by major news outlets.
