As of this report, no official confirmation has been issued by ICE, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or representatives of Khaby Lame. The viral posts remain uncorroborated by credible authorities.
“President Trump’s ICE just officially arrested far-left TikToker Khaby Lame… He’s currently being held at the Henderson Detention Center,” Loudon wrote on X (formerly Twitter), sharing what he claims is a screenshot from ICE’s detainee locator tool.

“He’s an ILLEGAL ALIEN!” Loudon posted, sparking criticism from many who called the posts politically motivated and lacking evidence.
