(Breaking News) Rapper 21 Savage taken into custody by ICE, Says he’s British and illegal.
The rapper, songwriter, and record producer was taken into custody Sunday morning by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this weekend for overstaying his visa.
A spokesman for ICE named Brian Cox said Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph aka 21 Savage was taken into custody as part of a “targeted operation.” Cox said 21 is an “unlawfully present United Kingdom” national who legally was able to enter the United States in July 2005 on a visa. Cox went on to say the rapper’s visa expired a year later.
ICE released the following statement:
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested unlawfully present United Kingdom national Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph AKA “21 Savage” during a targeted operation with federal and local law enforcement partners early Sunday in metro Atlanta. Mr. Abraham-Joseph was taken into ICE custody as he is unlawfully present in the U.S. and also a convicted felon.
“Mr. Abraham-Joseph initially entered the U.S. legally in July 2005, but subsequently failed to depart under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa and he became unlawfully present in the U.S. when his visa expired in July 2006. In addition to being in violation of federal immigration law, Mr. Abraham-Joseph was convicted on felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Georgia.
“Mr. Abraham-Joseph is presently in ICE custody in Georgia and has been placed into removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts. ICE will now await the outcome of his case before a federal immigration judge to determine future actions.”
