After being detained in the United States under the instruction of Donald Trump, social media sensation Khaby Lame has spoken out.

It's long been known that the President seeks to mass deport immigrants from the US, announcing in his January inauguration speech plans for the 'largest deportation programme in history', as part of a 'complete restoration of America'.

With this in mind, the 78-year-old announced last week that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will now be responsible for ensuring no citizens from a vast plethora of counties be permitted residence in the States. Check out the full list here.

It was also announced earlier this month that the White House increased its goal for ICE officials to make at least 3,000 arrests per day - and since then, workplaces, shops and hospitality venues have been scoured for individuals that have outstayed their visa limit.

Naturally, the move triggered uproar from millions of left-leaning Americans, many of whom flocked over to Los Angeles to join in a mass protest over the weekend.

In response to the protests, however, Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to enter the Californian city - against the wishes of the governor, Gavin Newsom.

The Republican leader claimed the decision had been spurred by the 'violent protests threatening the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property'.

Whilst not in attendance at said protest, Italian-born online star Khaby - who is best known for having the most followers on the video-sharing app TikTok - was amongst the thousands of visitors to the States detained in recent weeks.

A spokesperson for the ICE told press: "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations.

"Lame entered the United States April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S."

As we say, the TikToker has since broken his social media silence.

Returning to the web on Saturday (7 Jun), Lame seemed to brush right over his recent run in with the law by sharing a super wholesome photograph of himself alongside Hollywood veteran Will Smith.

In the photo - which was originally shared by the Fresh Prince star - the duo can be seen posing beside one another on what appears to be the red carpet of the premiere of Smith and Martin Lawrence's latest project, Bad Boys: Ride or Die.

Reposting the pic, Khaby wrote: "Wow, what a great experience!
