Bo Loudon, Barron Trump’s alleged “best friend,” claimed to have played a key role in the arrest of the world’s most famous TikToker, Italian-Senegalese Khaby Lame, who was arrested by ICE and later forced to leave the United States.
Loudon, 18, a native of Palm Beach, Florida, is the son of Dr. Gina Loudon, a conservative television pundit and former co-chair of Women for Trump in 2020, and John Loudon, a former Missouri state senator.
The MAGA influencer, who has been photographed numerous times with President Trump and the youngest of his children, said he has “personally taken steps” to have 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!”
ICE later confirmed that Lame had been detained at 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 United States on April 30 on a temporary visa. An ICE spokesman said he had been granted “voluntary departure” after his arrest and had since left the country. The agency, however, has not publicly confirmed Loudon’s involvement in the operation.
The affair has received a great deal of media coverage. For some years now, Lame has already been an internationally recognized star. On TikTok, the 25-year-old boasts more than 162 million followers and about 2.5 billion likes. In recent times, stars from sports, music and film, such as Will Smith, Giannis Antetokounnmpo and Alicia Keys, just to name a few, have taken part in his videos.
While in the country, Lame had attended the Met Gala in New York last May 5. At the moment, he has not made any public statement on the allegations levelled against him by ICE officials regarding his visa.
