Conservative commentator Bo Loudon appears to have been the first to publicly mention Lame's detention. Loudon claimed that he reported Lame to authorities on June 6 and shared what he claimed was a screenshot from the ICE website indicating that Lame was being held at the Henderson Detention Center in Nevada.

Khaby Lame, the world's most followed TikTok creator, was detained for overstaying a visa and granted voluntary departure from the U.S. this month, the Department of Homeland Security said. The big picture: Lame's detention comes as the Trump administration enforces its crackdown on immigration and border security.

Khaby Lame is a Senegalese-Italian social media star, and is the most-followed influencer on TikTok, amassing over 163 million followers. Khaby Lame also has over 80 million followers on Instagram.
