*A teenage MAGA influencer who claims to be besties with Barron Trump is taking credit for helping federal immigration officials detain TikTok star Khaby Lame.
As Raw Story reports, Bo Loudon, 18, the son of former Missouri state Sen. John Loudon, declared on X that he reported Lame to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “an illegal alien.” Loudon, who has described Barron as his “best friend,” said in the post that, “According to the official DHS website, he’s currently being held at the Henderson Detention Center and is in ICE CUSTODY.”
Loudon explained in a video that “friends and business partners” had tipped him off that Lame was allegedly in violation of his visa status.
“Every single illegal alien needs to be DEPORTED,” he wrote. “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.”
“I just called some buddies in the administration, and I’ve never seen anything happen so quick,” Loudon said in the same video. “They were like, ‘We’re gonna get right on this.’”

Lame, a Senegalese-born social media sensation with over 160 million TikTok followers, was detained by ICE at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 6. According to an official statement from the agency, the 25-year-old had overstayed his visa after entering the United States on April 30.
An ICE spokesperson confirmed that Lame was granted voluntary departure the same day and has since exited the country.
Lame gained worldwide fame during the COVID-19 pandemic with his silent, expressive comedy videos that earned him a massive online following and a reputation as one of TikTok’s top creators.
“Before TikTok, I was working in a factory. I had a lot of different jobs,” he previously told PEOPLE.
“I was helping support my family — three little brothers, one older brother and my parents. Then my world changed completely. It’s a whole different life now,” Lame added.
“When I discovered TikTok during COVID, I was making videos for fun. It was a way for all of us to step outside of all the things that were going on in the world,” he shared. “I was just there trying to make people laugh. It wasn’t something that I expected to be my form of work in the future.”
