21 Savage has admitted that he is actually a British citizen, and had over stayed his Visa, but his arrest by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a move to intimidate him and force him out of a country he calls his home.
According to TMZ 21 Savage whose real name is Shayaabin Abraham Joseph is still in custody, as his Attorney Charles attacks the federal agency ICE for holding 21Savage for deportation proceedings.
TMZ reports that Kuck says his client actually applied for a U-Visa back in 2017 and the application is pending, and ICE has known about it yet took no action until this weekend.
The attorney also takes aim at ICE for putting it out there that 21 Savage has prior criminal charges, suggesting he does not. Point of fact — Savage pled guilty to felony drug possession back in 2014, but that conviction was expunged last September
Kuck slams ICE for detaining his client, claiming he is not a threat to his community nor is he a flight risk … he also has children here.
“As a minor, his family overstayed their work visas, and he, like almost two million other children, was left without legal status through no fault of his own.” Kuck says his client has “U.S. citizen children” whom he supports and is eligible for relief from deportation.
The attorney accuses ICE of trying to “unnecessarily punish him,” claiming the agency is trying “to intimidate him into giving up his right to fight to remain in the United States.”
Now, this is interesting … Kuck says the Visa 21 Savage applied for is based on him being a victim of crime. Kuck tells TMZ, 21 Savage was shot during a 2013 incident where his best friend was murdered. Kuck says he was “severely affected physically and mentally.” He goes on to say being a crime victim puts 21 Savage in a position for permanent residence. the TMZ report said.
…but if deported where would 21Savage go to when he gets to the UK…I mean I left when he was still a teenager and about thirteen years old then…this is clearly not good for him and his family…
