Self-Proclaimed 'Best Friend' Of Barron Trump Brags About Calling ICE On Popular TikToker

Yahoo21 hours ago

MAGA Gen-Z influencer Bo Loudon says he was responsible for TikTok's most-followed creator, Khaby Lame, getting detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement, and he's threatening to go after other immigrants.
'We don't want celebrities using their status to abuse our system and take advantage of the things that we don't have access to,' Loudon, 18, said on Fox News. 'I can't say I'm done with Khaby; if there's other celebrities that are not in this country legally, I will investigate it and I will happily go after them as well. So it's not going to stop here, I don't think.'

Lame, whose full name is Serigne Khabane Lame, 25, is an Italian citizen who was born in Senegal. He was placed in detention on June 6 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for immigration violations, an ICE spokesperson told HuffPost.
ICE said Lame had overstayed the terms of his visa and voluntarily departed from the U.S.
The agency did not confirm whether Loudon had played any part in Lame's detention, but the MAGA influencer went on X last week to tell his millions of followers that he had 'reported' the influencer as an 'illegal alien.'
'I want to look out for the little guys, the people that follow our laws, respect our country, appreciate it and its values and don't abuse the system,' Loudon told Dylan Page, known on TikTok as 'News Daddy,' on Wednesday's episode of Page's podcast.
Lame, who once lived in a modest apartment in a small industrial town in Italy, rose to fame in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when he turned to content-creating after losing his factory job, The New York Times reported in 2021.
'It's my face and my expressions which make people laugh,' Lame said.
Lame, who had lived in Italy since age 1, said at the time that he was having trouble obtaining Italian citizenship due to the country's laws, and that his Senegalese passport made it tough to obtain a U.S. visa.
'I'm not a mayor, I'm no one. I can't change the laws,' Lame told the Times.
'Maybe I can change it with the popularity. With my influence,' he added with a smile.
Lame became an Italian citizen in 2022. This year, he attended the Met Gala in New York City.
Loudon is the son of former Missouri state Sen. John Loudon and former Women for Trump co-chair Dr. Gina Loudon, The Independent reports. He, much like other pro-Trump influencers, has gained a huge following of young conservative men.
On Instagram, Loudon pinned a photo of himself with President Donald Trump and his son Barron, captioning it, 'Best Friend, Best President.'

On Page's podcast, the MAGA influencer said he first discovered Lame had overstayed his visa through mutual friends and business partners and said he 'called some buddies in the administration' to quickly have the TikToker detained.
'I wish him the best of luck. I hope he's able to come back as a law-abiding citizen,' Loudon said.

"No Kings" protests planned across Southern California on Saturday

While President Trump attends a military parade for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday, which coincides with his 79th birthday, hundreds of protests are planned nationwide. The movement, "No Kings," is designed as a "nationwide day of defiance" in counter to Mr. Trump's parade, according to organizers. "On June 14—Flag Day—President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," the "No Kings" website reads. "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else." WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 09: Marine One lands at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump behind workers putting up a riser in front of the White House ahead of the Army's 250th birthday parade and celebration on June 09, 2025 in Washington, DC. The U.S. Army will mark its 250th anniversary with a parade along the National Mall that will include 6,500 troops, 150 vehicles and 50 aircraft. Kayla Bartkowski / Getty Images In response to the planned gatherings, Mr. Trump told reporters that he doesn't "feel like a king." "I have to go through hell to get stuff approved," he said. Organizers say nonviolence is the "core principle" of gatherings and pleaded with attendees to leave weapons at home and de-escalate any conflicts. The "No Kings" protests are scheduled in all 50 states, parts of Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and even Africa. Dozens of protests are planned across Southern California on Saturday in response to the military parade being held in Washington D.C.

Trump set to attend first day of Iowa State Fair in August

Washington — President Trump intends to open the Iowa State Fair on the first day of the 11-day event in August, according to sources familiar with the plan, revisiting a presidential campaign ritual in a state that helped deliver his return to the White House. Mr. Trump's visit, marked on the White House calendar for Aug. 7, is seen as an effort to shore up farm country for Republicans and to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of the nation's independence. Vice President JD Vance is also planning to attend the fair, but on a different day, according to one of the sources. Further details are expected to be locked in by late June. White House spokespeople declined to comment. Mr. Trump was last at the Iowa State Fair in August 2023, five months before the first votes in the GOP presidential primary contest, when his campaign was overshadowed by legal troubles, including an election conspiracy case. He has told advisers that he had a great time on that visit on the third day of the fair, relishing the spectacle that included a flyover in his private jet as his chief competitor, Ron DeSantis, was in the middle of an event, surrounded by reporters. On a stroll around the fairgrounds, Mr. Trump was mobbed with people, and attendance spiked to a record for the year with more than 118,000 visitors. He won the Iowa caucuses in January 2024 by about 30 points. Former President Donald Trump tossed a hat in the air while supporters cheer for him during the 2023 Iowa State Fair on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023. Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post via Getty Images A year ago, Mr. Trump said that if he were elected again, he would organize a big bash ahead of the nation's semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026, with a year-long exhibition that he hoped would be hosted at the Iowa State Fairgrounds with "pavilions from all 50 states." The state fair is a summer reunion for Iowans that showcases agriculture and middle America, with a life-sized cow sculpted out of butter, vendors selling deep-fried treats, carnival rides and animal shows. Iowa, the first state in the GOP primary calendar, has already attracted other politicians from both parties in recent weeks. Mr. Trump has repeatedly said his supports want him to run again, but he signaled in a May interview with NBC News that he wouldn't try to seek a third term, which is barred under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. "It's something that, to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do," Mr. Trump said in May. "I'll be an eight-year president," he added. "I'll be a two-term president." Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, spoke at a state party event in Cedar Rapids on May 29. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a n independent from Vermont, delivered remarks in February in Iowa City, as part of his "Fight Oligarchy" tour. His team also held organizing calls in competitive congressional districts in April. In 2023, the Democratic National Committee stripped Iowa of its "first in the nation" status in the party's nominating process. The DNC has not yet set its primary calendar for 2028. Mr. Trump first attended the fair as a reality television star, real estate mogul and presidential hopeful in 2015, when he gave children a ride on his personal helicopter and sought to outshine Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sanders, who were there at the same time. He returned to the fairgrounds to speak at a fundraising event for Sen. Joni Ernst in 2016 and held a rally there in fall 2021.

He left after about 40 minutes.
