Khaby Lame, the 25-year-old Italian-Senegalese TikTok sensation with over 160 million followers was deported from the United States after allegedly overstaying his visa.
Gatekeepers News reports that Khaby Lame was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 6, 2025, at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for overstaying his visa. He was granted a voluntary departure order and left the US.
According to ICE, Lame entered the US on April 30 but remained in the country beyond the validity of his visa.
A Trump-aligned influencer, Bo Loudon, claims to have tipped off authorities about Lame’s alleged undocumented status, sparking controversy online.
“Every single illegal alien needs to be DEPORTED. When I found out the biggest TikTok star, Khaby Lame, is an illegal alien evading taxes, I worked with Trump’s ICE to have him removed. He’s since been detained by ICE and removed,” Bo Loudon wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
This incident may affect Lame’s future plans in the US, including his reality show “Khaby Is Coming To America” on Tubi.
Khaby Lame’s case highlights the strict immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
