Overview

• Italian citizen Khabane “Khaby” Lame was detained by ICE on June 6 at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport for overstaying his visa after entering the United States on April 30.
• He was granted voluntary departure the same day and has since left the country, according to an ICE statement.
• Influencer Bo Loudon first publicized the arrest claim with a falsified ICE detainee locator screenshot.
• Lame’s subsequent posts on TikTok and Instagram along with third-party fact checks raised doubts until ICE provided official confirmation.
• The incident underscores heightened immigration enforcement under President Trump’s administration and the rapid spread of misinformation online.
