"US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations," the agency said in a statement to AFP.

Lame entered the United States on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the statement said of the Friday detention, adding that he was released the same day.

The Italian national, who is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and has a following of more than 162 million on TikTok, "has since departed the US."

Lame had not immediately posted publicly about the incident as of Saturday afternoon.

praying this shifts the right wing gen z/alpha youth against ICE/MAGA/etc

I don't particularly like him but sad he experienced that, glad he's safe (It seems?)

I hope he posts about it on tiktok. A message to 162M followers about what a shitty country the USA is since extreme right is in power would be nice

I saw headlines about his arrest, but they were not mentioning that it was an ICE detention, they worded it like he engaged in criminal activity, that is so shady

He has a HUGE audience so I hope this reaches far and wide.
