TikTok Star Khaby Lame Departs US After ICE Detention

Khaby Lame, the immensely popular TikTok star, has left the United States following a brief detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. A senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official confirmed the news, stating that the 25-year-old Senegalese Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained on June 6th at Harry Reid International Airport near Las Vegas.

The detention stemmed from allegations of a visa overstay. However, the situation resolved with Lame being granted a voluntary departure. This means he left the country at his own expense, avoiding a formal deportation order that could have barred him from re-entering the US for up to ten years. The voluntary departure was granted on June 6th, the same day as his detention.

Lame’s significant online presence and the circumstances of his departure have drawn considerable attention. The details surrounding the visa issue remain undisclosed, but the outcome seemingly avoids long-term immigration complications for the renowned social media personality.
