Loudon claimed that he reported Lame to authorities on June 6 and shared what he claimed was a screenshot from the ICE website indicating that Lame was being held at the Henderson Detention Center in Nevada.

TikTok star Khaby Lame has taken over the internet over the last few years due to his signature reaction memes and GIFs. His recent issues at a Las Vegas airport were no laughing matter, however, as he was detained by ICE.
