Bo Loudon, who is regularly at the White House covering his hero Donald Trump, boasted on X that he had "personally taken action" to have Lame removed.
Lame, a Senegalese-Italian influencer whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained last Friday at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
He is regarded as one of the world's most popular TikTok personalities, as he has more than 162 million followers.
It's alleged that Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30, and overstayed the terms of his visa, said a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
However, he was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, the ICE spokesperson confirmed.
News of his sudden departure was welcomed by the "bragging" MAGA influencer who claims to be 'Barron Trump's best friend,' reported The Daily Beast.
Loudon, 18, claimed last Friday - before news of Lame's detention had snowballed - 'I've been working with the patriots at President Trump's DHS to make this happen."
He said on X four days ago, 'Breaking: far-left illegal alien TikToker Khaby Lame was just arrested and is now in ICE custody under President Trump.
'I discovered he was an illegal who overstayed an invalid visa, evaded taxes, and I personally took action to have him deported.
'No one is above the law!'

Loudon also alleged in an X post on Monday that he had heard from a 'few of his friends' and 'business partners' that Lame had overstayed his visa.
He bragged, "I just called some buddies in the administration, and I've never seen anything happen so quick.
'They were like, 'We're gonna get right on this.''

He further alleged yesterday on X, 'Every single illegal alien needs to be deported.
'When I found out the biggest TikTok star, Khaby Lame, is an illegal alien evading taxes, I worked with Trump's ICE to have him removed.
'He's since been detained by ICE and removed.
'The Trump team works at lighting speed [sic].'
Loudon wished Lame 'the best of luck' and said he hoped 'he's able to come back as a law-abiding citizen.'
His inflammatory comments prompted one of Lame's fans to accuse him of being "a snitch."
Another slammed him on social media as, "Rat extraordinaire, Barron Trump's 'bestie' who informs ICE about all those nasty illegals."
Who is Khaby Lame and why did ICE detain him?
The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the Covid pandemic without ever saying a word in his viral videos.
His clips showed him reacting to absurdly complicated life hacks.
The influencer's legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame.
He has more than 162 million followers on TikTok.
The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship.
He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022.
In January, Lame was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained Lame, a citizen of Italy, on June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada, for "immigration violations," the agency alleged.
Lame entered the United States on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," its statement said of his detention, adding that he was released the same day.
He "has since departed the US," ICE added.
WIFE SWAP STAR
Loudon's dad is ex-Republican Missouri state Sen. John Loudon.
His mom is conservative media personality Gina Loudon, who appeared on Wife Swap, and is a member of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago private club.
Lame, who is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, has not as yet broken his silence about his detainment.
The U.S. Sun has contacted Lame and UNICEF for comment.
His brief detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid the president's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE.

Here are the three reasons why tariffs have yet to drive inflation higher
Despite widespread fears to the contrary, President Donald Trump 's tariffs have yet to show up in any of the traditional data points measuring inflation. In fact, separate readings this week on consumer and producer prices were downright benign, as indexes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that prices rose just 0.1% in May. The inflation scare is over, then, right? To the contrary, the months ahead are still expected to show price increases driven by Trump's desire to ensure the U.S. gets a fair shake with its global trading partners. So far, though, the duties have not driven prices up, save for a few areas that are particularly sensitive to higher import costs. At least three factors have conspired so far to keep inflation in check: Companies hoarding imported goods ahead of the April 2 tariff announcement. The time it takes for the charges to make their way into the real economy. The lack of pricing power companies face as consumers tighten belts. 'We believe the limited impact from tariffs in May is a reflection of pre-tariff stockpiling, as well as a lagged pass-through of tariffs into import prices,' Aichi Amemiya, senior economist at Nomura, said in a note. 'We maintain our view that the impact of tariffs will likely materialize in the coming months.' This week's data showed isolated evidence of tariff pressures. Canned fruits and vegetables, which are often imported, saw prices rise 1.9% for the month. Roasted coffee was up 1.2% and tobacco increased 0.8%. Durable goods, or long-lasting items such as major appliances (up 4.3%) and computers and related items (1.1%), also saw increases. 'This gain in appliance prices mirrors what happened during the 2018-20 round of import taxes, when the cost of imported washing machines surged,' Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, said in his daily market note. One of the biggest tests, though, on whether the price increases will prove durable, as many economists fear, or as temporary, the prism through which they're typically viewed, could largely depend on consumers, who drive nearly 70% of all economic activity. The Federal Reserve's periodic report on economic activity issued earlier this month indicated a likelihood of price increases ahead, while noting that some companies were hesitant to pass through higher costs. 'We have been of the position for a long time that tariffs would not be inflationary and they were more likely to cause economic weakness and ultimately deflation,' said Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust. 'There's a lot of consumer weakness.' Indeed, that's largely what happened during the damaging Smoot-Hawley tariffs in 1930, which many economists believe helped trigger the Great Depression. Tilley said he sees signs that consumers already are cutting back on vacations and recreation, a possible indication that companies may not have as much pricing power as they did when inflation started to surge in 2021. Fed officials, though, remain on the sidelines as they wait over the summer to see how tariffs do impact prices. Markets largely expect the Fed to wait until September to resume lowering interest rates, even though inflation is waning and the employment picture is showing signs of cracks. 'This time around, if inflation proves to be transitory, then the Federal Reserve may cut its policy rate later this year,' Brusuelas said. 'But if consumers push their own inflation expectations higher because of short-term dislocations in the price of food at home or other goods, then it's going to be some time before the Fed cuts rates.'

Late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau's widow recalls harrowing moment she was told her husband had been killed
The widow of late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau has opened up on the tragic moment she was told her husband and his brother Matthew had died in a tragic bicycle accident last year. Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were both killed after being hit by a drunk driver while out cycling on a New Jersey highway the night before their sister's wedding in late August 2024. Their passing proved all the more painful given both men were awaiting the birth of children, with Matthew on the verge of becoming a father for the very first time. His wife, Madeline, eventually gave birth to their baby boy, Tripp Matthew, four months later. And in April of this year, Meredith - Johnny's wife of three years before his death - welcomed their third child and second son, Carter Michael. Just over two months since giving birth in heartbreaking circumstances, Meredith has recalled the moment she received the news that her husband and his younger brother had lost their lives in an emotional letter published by The Players' Tribune. Titled 'Thank You For Being Perfect, John', the letter shares a number of special moments from their relationship before moving on to that fateful day in August. 'You kissed all of us goodbye and said you'd see us later. And that was that,' she wrote. Meredith then revealed that Johnny and Matthew's sister Katie, whose wedding day had been shattered in the most harrowing way possible, initially alerted her to the bicycle accident. 'Katie called, and she said something had happened, but she didn't know what exactly,' she added. 'I was thinking the whole time about how I was going to help you through whatever it could be that had happened to Matty. 'And then I walked up the front porch and learned the absolute worst had happened and that it was both of you. 'There aren't any words to go here.' The mom of three said the pain was 'completely indescribable.' 'I was keeled over for days, sick to my stomach,' she continued. 'The only person who can relate to me is my own sister-in-law. I see her and my heart breaks for her. 'I'm sick for her. We had just celebrated their gender reveal. We were all just down the shore together and had so much fun. Matty made me laugh so much that weekend.' Johnny, an NHL veteran who was poised to enter his third season with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2024, married Meredith back in September 2021. The couple then welcomed their first child, daughter Noa, a year later, and son Johnny as recently as March 2024. In a tearful tribute at his funeral back in September, Gaudreau's widow revealed she was pregnant with their third baby following his tragic passing, before giving birth to Carter Michael on April 1, 2025. She concluded in her Players' Tribune letter: 'I love you so much. I miss you every second of every day. I miss you more and more every day as well. My love grows deeper for you each day too.'

"I'm Senator Alex Padilla," he said as he was confronted by authorities. "I have questions for the secretary!" Noem, who was speaking about immigration and the protests in LA, continued addressing reporters and law enforcement officers while the senator was ejected from the office said he was "forced to the ground and handcuffed" by federal agents when trying to ask the secretary a question, and added that he was not currently being detained. The Department of Homeland Security said Padilla had engaged in "disrespectful political theatre" and that Noem met with the senator after the news Mayor Karen Bass called the incident "absolutely abhorrent and outrageous", adding that the Trump administration's "violent attacks on our city must end". Padilla told reporters that he was already in the federal building for a previously scheduled meeting. He said he stopped by Noem's news briefing because he and his colleagues have received "little to no information in response" to several immigration-related the son of Mexican immigrants, is the most senior Democrat on the Senate's Border Security and Immigration subcommittee."I came to the press conference to hear what she had to say, to see if I could learn any new additional information," he said. "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day labourers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country."He urged Americans across the country to "continue peacefully protesting" the Trump administration and its DHS in a statement said Padilla didn't identify himself and was not wearing the Senator's pin on his clothing so officers thought he was an attacker. Video footage of the incident shows Padilla saying he was he was a senator as he was being pushed outside the room. California's Governor Gavin Newsom called on Republican congressional leadership to condemn the detaining of Padilla. "If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you," Newsom wrote on social the White House accused the California senator of storming the press conference, and said he "yelled and lunged toward Secretary Noem". "Padilla didn't want answers; he wanted attention," Abigail Jackson, White House spokesperson said. "Padilla embarrassed himself and his constituents with this immature, theater-kid stunt – but it's telling that Democrats are more riled up about Padilla than they are about the violent riots and assaults on law enforcement in LA."Former vice-president and Trump opponent, Kamala Harris also criticised the move and said the California senator was trying to get answers for his constituents about the ongoing immigration raids in the state. "United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California," she said on Twitter. "This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power."
