Overview

  • ICE confirmed the 25-year-old Senegalese-Italian influencer entered on April 30 and was detained June 6 at Harry Reid International Airport for overstaying his visa.
  • He accepted a voluntary departure the same day, avoiding a formal deportation order that could bar his return for up to ten years.
  • Bo Loudon, an 18-year-old pro-Trump influencer, claimed to have alerted ICE to Lame’s status, though officials have not verified his involvement.
  • Lame has not publicly addressed the incident and has continued posting sponsored TikTok content since leaving the country.
  • Protests have erupted in Los Angeles and other cities over the administration’s intensified enforcement of immigration policies.
