21 Savage Has Been Released From ICE -

The morning of the SuperBowl, 21 Savage was arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE claimed that Abraham-Joseph was a “United Kingdom national” who “is unlawfully present in the U.S.” Now, he has been released on bond, as TMZ and The Daily Beast report. 21 Savage’s lawyers Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt, and the lawyer Jay-Z Roc Nation brought in Alex Spiro made a statement:

For the past 9 long days, we, on behalf of She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known to the world as 21 Savage, have been speaking with ICE to both clarify his actual legal standing, his eligibility for bond, and provide evidence of his extraordinary contributions to his community and society.

In the last 24 hours, in the wake of the Grammy Awards at which he was scheduled to attend and perform, we received notice that She’yaa was granted an expedited hearing.

Today, 21 Savage was granted a release on bond. He won his freedom.

21 Savage asked us to send a special message to his fans and supporters—he says that while he wasn’t present at the Grammy Awards, he was there in spirit and is grateful for the support from around the world and is more than ever, ready to be with his loved ones and continue making music that brings people together.

He will not forget this ordeal or any of the other fathers, sons, family members, and faceless people, he was locked up with or that remain unjustly incarcerated across the country. And he asks for your hearts and minds to be with them.

Charles Kuck, Dina Laporte, and Alex Spiro.

21 Savage was arrested right after his SNL performance, where he talked about Flint, Michigan water crisis and immigration in America. 21 Savage was born in the United Kingdom. He moved to United States on a H-4 visa when he was 13 years old in 2005. The visa expired in 2006 and in 2014 he was filing for another visa but was arrested before he finished the process. There was supposed to be a free 21 Savage rally held in Atlanta today but it got cancelled because 21 Savage was released from ICE. We still don’t know yet if he will be deported but it’s good he’s back at home with his family. https://www.instagram.com/p/Btw2CBYn0PF/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=dq3r14sr7uak
