Barron Trump's friend Bo Loudon claims he got ICE to detain TikTok star Khaby Lame
The MAGA, Gen-Z influencer, who has been pictured numerous times with the president and his son, said he had 'personally taken action' to have Khaby Lame deported.
'No one is above the law!' he wrote in a series of posts on X, later adding: 'I've been working with the patriots at President Trump's DHS to make this happen. He was just ARRESTED in Vegas and is in ICE CUSTODY!'
Despite a community note on the post calling Loudon out for false information, ICE confirmed that Lame had been detained at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for violating the terms of his visa on June 6.
The 25-year-old star had entered the U.S. on April 30 on a temporary visa. A spokesperson for ICE said he had been granted 'voluntary departure' following his arrest and had since left the country.
'No one works faster than President Trump's administration!' Loudon wrote, following news of Lame's departure.
ICE has not confirmed Loudon's involvement publicly, and did not provide further information when contacted by The Independent.
Lame, whose real name is Serigne Khabane Lame, is a Senegalese-Italian TikToker known for his deadpan reactions to other videos. His viral videos have earned him a following of more than 162 million.
While in the country, Lame attended the Met Gala in New York City on May 5. He has not commented publicly on the allegations that he overstayed his visa.
It is also unclear if Lame returned to Italy immediately and posted an Instagram Story of himself in São Paulo, Brazil, after leaving the U.S.
Despite barely being old enough to vote, Loudon and Barron Trump were unofficially recruited to help the oldest presidential candidate in history tap into the manosphere and capture the 'bro vote' in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
Loudon, from Palm Beach, Florida, is the son of Dr Gina Loudon, the conservative television pundit and former co-chair of Women for Trump in 2020, and John Loudon, a former Missouri state senator.

Italian priest refused entry to Israel, deported due to 'public security reasons'
The priest, Don Nandino Capovilla from Venice, was set to take part in a pilgrimage to Bethlehem along with fifteen others. An Italian priest was refused entry to Israel at Ben-Gurion Airport over 'public security issues' and deported to Greece, Italian media reported on Monday. The priest, Don Nandino Capovilla from Venice, was set to take part in a pilgrimage to Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and the West Bank along with fifteen others, under the leadership of Archbishop Giovanni Ricchiuti, the president of Pax Christi Italy. Pax Christi is a Catholic peace movement with 120 member organizations worldwide. Capovilla was formerly the national coordinator of Pax Christi and has consistently spoken about 'the genocide of the Palestinian people.' He recently co-authored a book with Betta Tusset featuring a compilation of stories about life in the Gaza Strip. According to the online news site Veneto TourGuide, Capovilla was stopped immediately after stepping off the plane. The Italian daily newspaper, Corriere della Sera, reported that Capovilla was then presented with a form titled 'Decision regarding the refusal of entry into Israel,' which he refused to sign. The form reportedly read: 'He is not permitted to enter Israel,' with the reason for refusal cited as 'Considerations relating to public security, public safety, or public order.' It further stated that 'the person will be removed from Israel as soon as possible and in the meantime will be held in a designated facility.' Flight back to Italy Corriere della Sera added that Capovilla spent the remainder of the day in a facility pertaining to the Israeli authorities near the airport before flying to Cyprus, then to Italy via Frankfurt. On his Facebook page, Capovilla said he spent seven hours in a holding facility before having his phone and suitcase returned. He called on journalists covering the story to dedicate just one line to his well-being. The rest, Capovilla said, should be devoted to 'demanding sanctions against a state that bombs mosques and churches as part of the 'errors' it makes.' 'I do not authorize any journalist to interview me about my seven hours of detention unless they also write about the people who have been prisoners in their own land for seventy years,' he added. Ricchiuti, who successfully reached Bethlehem with the rest of the delegation, told the newspaper that he was not told what the specific reason for Capovilla's deportation was. He believed, however, that it was due to a book that Capovilla recently published, named Under the Gaza Sky. The blurb of Under the Gaza Sky condemns those who reduce the 'ongoing massacre' of Palestinians 'to something that started on October 7, 2023.' Within the book, the chapters are called 'When They Take Away Your Freedom to Leave,' 'When They Take Away Your Roof,' 'When They Take Away Your Bread,' and 'When They Take Away Your Water.' As for the Pax Christi 'pilgrimage of justice in the Holy Land,' it has taken a decisively anti-Israel stance. The website calls on the Italian Parliament and government to condemn Israel, suspend all weapon shipments to Israel, and recognize a Palestinian state. 'We tried everything, pulled every string, but it was no use, unfortunately,' Ricchiuti said regarding the refusal to allow Capovilla entry. 'We're here, from Rome and Venice, on a pilgrimage as part of our campaign for justice and peace: [build] bridges, not walls.' The Jerusalem Post reached out to the Population and Immigration Authority for comment. Solve the daily Crossword

Kim Kardashian's Racy Private Jet Selfie With Her SKIMS Face Wrap Is Peak Kim Kardashian
In case you needed your fix on keeping up with the Kardashian family, allow us to drop the latest news for ya: Kim Kardashian is fully out here posting pics from her private jet, including some racy nude selfies. In a recent Instagram post, the reality TV personality-turned-billionaire wore her new SKIMS face wrap in a mob wife-inspired look featuring a brown fur coat, sparkly tights, cherry red lipstick, and big black sunglasses. She also posed alongside her sister, Khloé Kardashian, and longtime friend, La La Anthony, in a series of photos from their trip to Korea. A Kim K Insta post wouldn't be complete without her signature racy mirror selfie, of course. That's exactly why she posed in nothing but her sparkly tights, leaving little to the imagination while showing off her cleavage. She meant it when she said, 'Nude selfies till I die' back in 2016, because it also looks like she went commando in the snap: Kim's NSFW post comes after her platinum blonde hair transformation and another trip to Mexico, where she received Muse stem cell treatment. Per the Daily Mail, the procedure is not commonly offered in the U.S., which is why the multihyphenate crossed the Mexican border. In a separate social media post, Kim shared that she underwent the treatment after tearing her shoulder while lifting weights two years ago. She saw 'immediate results' and 'regained full range of motion' in her shoulder since receiving stem cell therapy, and returned for the Muse treatment 'to address chronic back pain' she had 'been suffering with for years.' As for the SKIMS mogul's blonde tresses, this isn't her first rodeo. She last rocked the icy hair color for the Met Gala back in 2024, and again for her Marilyn Monroe-inspired look at the coveted fashion event in 2022. At the time, her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, walked through the process of achieving the look, telling E! News, 'I love a blonde Kim. I think it's so interesting how a color can change the colors of the clothes you wear, and it really changes your makeup. You can really reinvent things.' Yep, that's Kim: the mother of reinvention.
