Lame, who boasts more than 160 million followers, was allegedly in the U.S. on an expired visa and failed to comply with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">immigration laws<\/a>.Loudon stated that he based his actions on facts he received that raised concerns about Lame&#8217;s immigration status, including allegations of tax evasion. He expressed that his motive was to &#8220;preserve the American dream&#8221; and maintained that he will continue to investigate celebrities who might be in the U.S. illegally. Lame reportedly left the U.S. after his detention but could return if he obtains the proper documentation. Loudon faced criticism for his role, but he claims to have received support from others who value lawful immigration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bo Loudon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-taking-regeneron-drug-remdesivir-therapy-for-coronavirus-diagnosis-ex-wh-doctor-explains\/\" title=\"Trump taking Regeneron drug, Remdesivir therapy for coronavirus diagnosis: ex-WH doctor explains\">helped<\/a> ICE detain TikToker Khaby Lame to &lsquo;preserve the American dream&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2146676\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/social-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">influencer<\/a> Bo Loudon said he helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ICE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> detain the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/teddy-roosevelts-stolen-watch-returned-to-82-year-old-great-grandson-after-discovery\/\" title=\"Teddy Roosevelt&#039;s Stolen Watch Returned to 82-Year-Old Great-Grandson After Discovery\">world&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s most followed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TikTok<\/a> creator to &ldquo;preserve the American dream.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Khaby Lame, a Senegalese-Italian influencer with more than 160 million followers on TikTok, left the United States this week after <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >immigration officials detained<\/a> him at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Las-Vegas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Las Vegas&rsquo;s<\/a> Harry Reid International Airport, and Loudon is taking credit for assisting ICE.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3441314\/alex-padilla-fundraising-democrats-kristi-noem-encounter\/\">Democrats cash in on Alex Padilla&rsquo;s clash with federal agents<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3441338\/house-oversight-investigation-newsom-bass-la-riots\/\">House Oversight launches investigation into Newsom and Bass over LA riots<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3441288\/senate-seersucker-day-bipartisanship\/\">Senate seersucker tradition fosters bipartisanship in polarizing times<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I had some guys from Dubai and a lot of his business partners and associates that reached out to me and told me a lot of things about him that raised a lot of red flags,&rdquo;
