TikTok Titan Khaby Lame Deported After Visa Violation

Khaby Lame, the world's most-followed TikTok star, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 6 at Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport for exceeding his visa stay. Lame, an Italian citizen of Senegalese origin, entered the U.S. on April 30, 2025, and overstayed his tourist visa, resulting in his arrest and brief detention.
Following his detention, Lame accepted voluntary departure from the U.S., a move that may complicate future entries, especially under the current administration's stringent immigration policies. Despite his global fame for silent comedic videos, Lame has not publicly commented on the incident.
In a twist of irony, the man who simplifies life's complexities now faces the intricate web of U.S. immigration law.
