Trump Supporter Brags About Reporting Influencer Khaby Lame to Immigration Officials

The online community reacted with outrage this week as a young Trump supporter boasted about his involvement in the detention of renowned social media star Khabane ‘Khaby’ Lame by immigration authorities. This incident has sparked intense discussions surrounding privilege and accountability.Lame, a 25-year-old Senegalese-Italian influencer, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 6 for overstaying his visa, despite entering the U.S. legally on April 30. After a swift voluntary departure, he avoided a deportation status that could have restricted his re-entry for up to ten years.Eighteen-year-old Bo Loudon, affiliated with President Trump’s family, publicly claimed credit for Lame's detention via a viral video. Louden, whose ties to the administration facilitated his swift action, faced significant backlash for his actions and the apparent mockery of Lame's immigration status, heightening discussions about the intersection of social media and immigration enforcement.
