Crowds gathered at the Las Vegas airport, unaware of the horror that had already occurred. The TikTok star, Khaby Lame, had been detained by immigration agents and was deemed a flight risk, prompting immediate expulsion from the country.
The shocking incident, which took place yesterday, saw the social media celebrity deported from the United States after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Las Vegas.
Lame, who is from Senegal, had landed in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon, where he was scheduled to appear at the Reese's Slumber Party TikTok event alongside other social media influencers.
However, as he was about to clear customs, he was detained by ICE agents. Lame was held at the Henderson Detention Center, a notorious ICE detention facility, and was eventually deported back to Italy, where he currently holds citizenship.
The 20-year-old, who rose to immense popularity for his comedic video interpretations of other TikTok trends, has amassed over 150 million followers on the platform. His sudden departure has raised concerns among other TikTok influencers and left his fans questioning his whereabouts.
The incident has also raised awareness about the precarious situation of immigrant minorities in the US, particularly those who come to the country to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
Many are now wondering if this incident will lead to a re-evaluation of their priorities and actions in terms of immigration policies and procedures.
