ICE says it detained TikTok star Khaby Lame and told him to leave the U.S.
U.S. immigration officials said they detained Khaby Lame, one of the world's most popular TikTok personalities, last week and told him to leave the country after they said he "overstayed the terms of his visa." The Italian-Senegalese creator, whose real name is Seringe Khabane Lame, entered the U.S. on April 30, according to a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was granted "voluntary departure" on Friday after he was detained by agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Lame did not respond to requests for comment made by NBC News. He has not publicly commented on the reported detainment and subsequent departure. Lame has continued to post on social media in the days since he reportedly left the U.S. His most recent Instagram story appears to have been posted from Brazil. Sharks Celebrities Mgmt, which is among the listed agency representatives for the creator, claimed the ICE report is "fake news," telling NBC News in an email that Lame "did not visit the USA this month to begin with." They said the "the name mentioned is not his birth name." It's unclear when Lame was last in the U.S. but he did attend the Met Gala in May. Lame has 162.2 million followers on TikTok, where he grew a massive following during the pandemic after being laid off from a factory job in Italy. The 25-year-old, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization UNICEF, is known for his comedic videos that often use the hashtag, 'learnfromkhaby.' The news comes amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration in the U.S., including efforts to detain travelers arriving at the border, including airports. In recent months, social media users have recounted their interactions with immigration officials and shared their fears about traveling back to the U.S. during a period of heightened vigilance at U.S. entry points and borders. Lame is one of the more high-profile people to date to be detained. Last month, Hasan Piker, one of the top political pundits on Twitch, said that he was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport after a trip to France. The Turkish American streamer, who is vocal on a number of political and social issues, said he was asked about his views, including whether he supports President Donald Trump. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said at the time that 'claims that his political beliefs triggered the inspection are baseless.' Immigration raids have also ramped up across the U.S., including in Los Angeles, where protests have continued for days as demonstrators push back on the Trump administration's aggressive round-up efforts.

Incredible moment Bridgerton star FIGHTS thief who took her phone before tackling him to cafe floor & grabbing it back
THIS is the incredible moment a Bridgerton star fought off a thief who swiped her mobile in a cafe. Zacariah Boulares swiped the device from Genevieve Chenneour as she sat in Joe & The Juice in Kensington, South West London. 7 Zacariah Boulares was captured stealing the star's mobile Credit: Met Police 7 Genevieve Chenneour fought back against the thief Credit: Met Police 7 The star was targeted while sitting in a coffee shop Credit: Instagram The brave actress, who played Clara Livingston in the third season of the Netflix period drama, bravely attempted to stop the teen escaping. Astonishing footage from police shows Genevieve grabbing Boulares' shoulder as she realises her phone has been taken. She then tackles the serial thief to the ground with the help of another customer. Genevieve managed to take her phone back from Boulares before repeatedly hitting him with it in the posh cafe. She previously claimed she suffered a concussion in the horror in February and said even her dog was "traumatised". The star added: "They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did." Algerian national Boulares previously pleaded guilty to stealing the phone. The teen also admitted common assault against fellow Joe and the Juice customer Carlo Kurcishi, who had stepped in to help. Boulares pleaded guilty to a separate charge of theft after he swiped a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant. The court heard he has 12 previous convictions for a total of 28 offences - all relating to theft. His rap sheet includes threatening to cut off Aled Jones' arm while stealing his £17,000 Rolex. The Songs of Praise presenter, 52, was out with his son Lucas when he was targeted near their home in Chiswick, South West London. Boulares - then aged 16 - pulled out 20 inch machete and repeatedly threatened Aled in a bid to steal the luxury timepiece. He told him: "Give me your f***king Rolex or I will cut your arm off." Aled handed over the £17,000 Rolex Daytona watch rather than fight with the armed robber. He and his son bravely followed the 6ft teen but when he spotted them, he snarled: "Walk the other way or I will cut your head off." Boulares was given a two year training and detention order after pleading guilty to robbery at Ealing Youth Court. But he was released from youth detention early after serving just 14 months of his 24-month sentence. He will be sentenced for robbing Genevieve on June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court. As well as Bridgerton, Genevieve appeared in historical film 1242: Gateway To The West. She is also a former professional athlete who represented Team GB at the Baku 2015 European Games in Artistic swimming events. 7 Genevieve tackled the thief to the ground Credit: Met Police 7 The actress appeared in season three of Bridgerton 7 Genevieve claimed she was left with a concussion Credit: Instagram

Bloke in Roman helmet on mobility scooter taunts cops during Ballymena riots
The man, bizarrely wearing what looked like a Roman soldier's helmet, was seen charging at officers, taunting them, gesturing wildly and spinning in circles just feet from the water cannons Around 2,500 people swarmed the Harryville area on Tuesday night following the arrest of two teenage boys charged with attempted rape after an incident in Clonavon Terrace on Saturday, June 7. As the atmosphere grew heated, riot police and water cannons were deployed to control the masses - but not everyone was deterred. In a bizarre twist, a man in an electric wheelchair, sporting what appeared to be a Roman soldier's helmet, was seen confronting officers, making wild gestures, and spinning circles mere feet from the water jets. The odd spectacle was captured on video and exploded online after being shared on X (formerly Twitter), leaving users baffled. Reboot Britain added their voice: "It's nuts". Martin Lay remarked: "The state of modern Ulster". Edmund Miller observed: "Bloke has a Roman helmet whilst on his metal steed." In another unexpected turn, a protester seemed to accidentally set himself on fire while trying to throw a petrol bomb. The demonstration had started off calmly as residents expressed their outrage over the alleged sexual assault. However, the situation escalated as riot police took positions and water cannons were readied to manage the swelling crowd. PSNI vehicles cordoned off roads as riot police in full body armour stepped in. Protesters hurled fireworks, glass bottles, metal objects, and abuse at the officers. A car was torched near a car wash and tyre centre, one of several fires ignited across the area. Police fired plastic baton rounds and deployed powerful water cannons to disperse the mob. Windows were shattered in multiple homes, and one protester's clothing caught fire amidst the chaos. Shocking scenes also revealed young children among the crowds, standing near the frontlines as fireworks detonated and water jets sprayed into the night. The two teenage suspects are currently being held in custody and are expected to appear in court in the coming days. Police are maintaining vigilance in Ballymena amid concerns of further unrest.
