The world’s most followed TikToker Khaby Lame has ‘broken his silence’ after he was detained by ICE.

As a result of his detention by ICE agents, the social media star has now left the US.

Lame has a whopping 162.3 million followers on TikTok and is best known for his comedic skits.

However, the content creator found himself in hot water when he was detained at an airport in Las Vegas last Friday (June 6).

This comes after President Donald Trump announced his plans for the ‘largest deportation programme in history’ as part of a so-called ‘complete restoration of America’.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that the White House has increased its arrest goal for ICE, aiming for officials to make at least 3,000 arrests a day.

Since this news broke, workplaces and venues have been scoured for people who have overstayed their visa limit.


Among the individuals detained by US immigration forces in recent weeks is Italian-born TikToker Lame.

In a statement to the press, a spokesperson for ICE said: “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations.

“Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S.”

The following day (June 7), Lame broke his silence by making his return to social media.

Seeming to brush over his recent run in with the law, the TikToker took to Instagram stories to share a wholesome photograph of himself alongside Hollywood veteran Will Smith.

In the photo - which was originally shared by the Fresh Prince star - the duo can be seen posing beside one another on what appears to be the red carpet of the premiere of Smith and Martin Lawrence’s latest project, Bad Boys: Ride or Die.

Reposting the pic, Khaby wrote: “Wow, what a great experience! Thank you for letting me be part of your movie.”

In other ICE-related news, protests have been sweeping the streets of downtown LA over the last week, which has seen people clash with ICE agents carrying out aggressive raids.

Local residents have been demonstrating in response to these raids, and nearly 400 arrests have been made since June 7.

The Trump administration has deployed 5,000 Marines and National Guard troops in an attempt to put a stop to the protests.

The president claimed the decision had been spurred by ‘violent protests threatening the security of and significant damage to federal immigration detention facilities and other federal property’.

During a press briefing, Trump told reporters: “If we didn’t send in the national guard quickly, right now, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground.”
