Hundreds of demonstrators fought back with the National Guard and local authorities as ICE protests escalated.
Khaby Lame, an Italian-Senegalese influencer whose TikTok account boasts the most followers on the platform, has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In a statement Sunday, June 8, to USA TODAY, an ICE spokesperson confirmed that Lame, whose full name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for immigration violations.

Born in Senegal, Lame is now a citizen of Italy, where he has spent the majority of his life. Entering the U.S. on April 30, Lame “overstayed the terms of his visa,” according to ICE, and was granted voluntary departure once detained.
Why is Khaby Lame famous?
The 25-year-old content creator has one of the most recognizable faces on the internet. Rising to fame during the pandemic, after being laid off from his factory job in Italy in March of 2020, Lame’s signature video style involves him following along as another creator demonstrates a complicated life hack, then completing the task himself with ease, often wordlessly, and shooting a knowing look at the camera.
Using the hashtag “learnfromkhaby” on many of his videos, Lame’s fame is more akin to the internet stardom of yore, in which an exasperated look or a quick humorous bit, stripped of any high production value or product placement, could take off on Vine.

Lame attended the 2025 Met Gala in May, celebrating the theme of Black dandyism in style with a bespoke gray zoot suit-style ensemble. Beyond internet stardom, he is also an ambassador for men’s clothing house Boss, Blockchain platform Binance and Unicef, a humanitarian aid organization.
Lame’s detainment comes amid a larger immigration crackdown spearheaded by President Donald Trump. Following through on a campaign promise for mass deportations, under Trump’s advisement, ICE launched raids across the country, from classrooms to workplaces to airports.
The move has been met with some resistance among the general public and the courts, who argue that some of the deportations have robbed people of due process and that, in the case of separated families, they embody a cruelty discordant with America’s values.
