The fight against illegal immigrants continues in the United States. Even celebrities are falling under the sword of punishment. It was reported that the country's immigration and customs service detained popular blogger Seringe Xabi Leim for violating immigration regulations, AFP reports, citing a statement from the department.
25-year-old Leim is an Italian citizen, and during Covid he became the most famous TikToker, whose videos gained huge views. Today, his account has over 162 million subscribers and about 2.5 billion likes in total from all videos. In his videos, Lame ridiculed advice and complex instructions for simple actions, ending each video with his signature gesture - spread palms.
The guy began making short videos during the pandemic. He had just lost his job and did not know what to do during the lockdown. Sitting at home, Lane recorded videos in which he ridiculed zoomers, and so successfully that he very quickly gained incredible popularity. Thanks to his fame, the blogger signed many contracts with brands such as Hugo Boss, Fortnight and Sony Pictures - Forbes reports.
As for the detention of Leim by the immigration service, the blogger was allowed to voluntarily leave the US, which he did. Men’s Journal reports.
Meanwhile, mass protests began in the US due to the tightening of immigration policies. In Los Angeles, after the detention of illegal immigrants, demonstrators began to block roads, attack immigration officers, throwing stones and firecrackers at them. The White House called everything that was happening a riot and sent about 2,000 National Guard soldiers to the city without notifying the Governor of California, who considered these actions a "deliberate provocation." Protests also took place in New York.
Tear gas and flashbang grenades were used to disperse protesters
CNN, citing a source in law enforcement, writes that the deployment of troops is an excessive reaction that could have unpleasant consequences, since the last time such measures were used to suppress unrest was in 1992. Then the court acquitted four white police officers who brutally detained a drunk black driver.
