TikTok star Khaby Lame has spoken out after being detained in the U.S. under Donald Trump’s stricter immigration policies. The Italian-born content creator, who overstayed his visa, was held at a Las Vegas airport before voluntarily departing the country. His detention follows Trump’s expanded deportation efforts, including ICE’s increased arrest targets and restrictions on residents from multiple countries. The crackdown has sparked protests, with Trump deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles despite opposition from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Lame broke his social media silence by sharing a photo with Will Smith from the *Bad Boys: Ride or Die* premiere, captioning it, “Wow, what a great experience!” The viral star, known for his wordless comedy skits, avoided addressing his detention directly. Meanwhile, Trump’s immigration policies continue to draw backlash, with critics condemning the aggressive enforcement measures. Lame’s case highlights the broader impact of these tightened rules on foreign visitors.
