Statement from 21 Savage’s counsel
There has been a great deal of misreporting in the case of She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known professionally as 21 Savage. Conjecture and misinformation help no one make good decisions and leads to false conclusions. Here are the facts:
Mr. Abraham-Joseph was born in the United Kingdom. Mr. Abraham-Joseph arrived legally in the United states at the age of 7. He remained in the United States until 2005, when he departed for approximately one month to visit the United Kingdom. He returned to the United States under a valid H-4 visa on July 22, 2005. Mr. Abraham-Joseph has been continuously physically present in the United States for almost 20 years, except for a brief visit abroad. Unfortunately, in 2006 Mr. Abraham-Joseph's legal status expired through no fault of his own.
Mr. Abraham-Joseph, like almost two million of his immigrant child peers, was left without immigration status as a young child with no way to fix his immigration status. These “Dreamers” come from all walks of life and every ethnicity. Mr. Abraham-Joseph has no criminal convictions or charges under state or federal law and is free to seek relief from removal in immigration court. ICE provided incorrect information to the press when it claimed he had a criminal conviction.
Mr. Abraham-Joseph has three US Citizen children, a lawful permanent resident mother and four siblings that are either US Citizens or lawful permanent residents. He has exceptionally strong ties in the United States, having lived here since he was in the first grade. Because of his length of residence in the United States and his immediate relatives, Mr. Abraham-Joseph is eligible to seek Cancellation of Removal from an Immigration Judge.
Mr. Abraham-Joseph was placed into deportation proceedings AFTER his arrest, he was not in deportation proceedings prior to this detention by ICE. DHS has known his address since the filing of a U visa application in 2017. He has never hidden from DHS or any of its agencies.
Mr. Abraham-Joseph is not subject to mandatory detention under federal law and is eligible for bond. By statute, bond should be granted by ICE when there is no flight risk or a danger to the community. ICE has the ability to set a bond and conditions of release on cases exactly like this. ICE routinely grants bond to individuals in Mr. Abraham-Joseph’s circumstances, specifically individuals who have overstayed a prior valid visa and have relief from deportation under federal law. There is no chance that Mr. Abraham-Joseph is a flight risk. Mr. Abraham-Joseph is not a “danger” to the community as his acts of philanthropy and good will, as well as his music, continue to improve the communities from which he comes.
Mr. Abraham-Joseph has a pending U visa application with the USCIS. This U visa was filed as a result of being the victim of a deadly shooting in 2013. That visa was filed in 2017 and remains pending. When granted, the U visa will afford him lawful status in the United States. Generally, ICE has recognized a pending facially valid U visa as a basis to delay removal proceedings and release individuals from custody.
There continues to be no legal reason to detain Mr. Abraham-Joseph for a civil law violation that occurred when he was a minor, especially when people in his exact situation are routinely released by ICE. Many have speculated as to possible ulterior motives for his arrest and detention, including that he released music five days prior to his arrest by ICE, which included new lyrics condemning the behavior of immigration officials for their detention of children at the border. We are unaware of why ICE apparently targeted Mr. Abraham-Joseph, but we will do everything possible to legally seek his release and pursue his available relief in immigration court.

TG is wise about this (and other) stuff.
Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation tell CNN that Chicago Police believe actor Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate an assault on him that he reported late last month.
Smollett denies playing a role in his attack, according to a statement from his attorneys.
The men, who are brothers, were arrested Wednesday but released without charges Friday after Chicago police cited the discovery of "new evidence."
The sources told CNN the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.stuff.

I'm going to frame your first sentence.
the story seemed a bit far fetched from the beginning and stuff didn't seem to add up. That night was unnaturally cold, even by Chicago standards so highly unlikely two white dude would be walking around with a rope and a bottle of bleach looking for a black man to pick on........
Plus in normal circumstances, two racist white dudes wouldn't jump a black guy. Especially somewhere as potentially dangerous for them as Chicago.
And then when he seemed to be milking the publicity and calling himself the gay Tupac...
This incident actually influenced government legislation so there are serious implications around that.

There was a time where white women would call the police on a black man for addressing her, or looking at her sexually. Now its for his dog humping hers. Is that sexual assault by proxy?

So why isn't she getting arrested for frivolous calling of the police, yet Jussie Smollet is potentially facing prison.

Going back to this case.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/12-year-ol...164022714.html
I want to draw people's attention to this from the opening paragraph.
"A 12-year-old boy appeared in court on Tuesday after he was arrested for allegedly selling his mixtape at a Georgia mall in October. "
So he was arrested for allegedly selling CD's in a shopping Mall (please bear that in mind).
"Corey “Lil C Note” Jackson, a young rapper, faces charges of disorderly conduct with violence, criminal trespassing and an obstruction felony, "
Note, there is nothing about him supposedly selling CD's illegally.
What's my point, well this kid was probably not doing anything Illegal (or easy to prove it was illegal) and it was the altercation with the police officer that has got him in trouble.

However, I was virtually snubbed for a while by a British/Nigerian female colleague of mine for having had the temerity to have a relationship with a local woman. I never got this but still...And obviously there were those who told us to eff off back to our western civilization and leave them alone. At the same time, there were plenty of folk who were happy to see us there and who were very welcoming and bent backwards almost too far to make us feel at home.
Not sure where I'm going with this tbh but it's all very complicated.

I worked in Africa for five years and I have no doubt that I helped some people there. I helped them to learn English and many expressed their gratitude to me for this, That said, I didn't go to Africa with the express purpose of helping people. I went to experience something different, know a new culture, learn a new language, travel, try different foods, discover more of myself. I hope that this was not in any way some kind of colonialism.
It's clear to me that I learned far more from them than they from me.

It's a shame you got tarred with the same brush.

See this video of a Christian missionary who went to Africa to help the natives it's not for the faint hearted.

I should probably clarify, I have no problem with white people going to Africa. I think it is a good thing for disparate cultures to meet and interact, with more of this we, as human beings will see that we actually have much more in common than divides us.

The BBQ Beckys of the world never seem to be charged with abuse of police resources. Another entry in the "Depressing, but Unsurprising" file.
The kid rapper made the mistake of visiting Cobb County, the white flight suburb of Atlanta that has given us Newt Gingerich and all kinds of other pathologies. The same place the baseball team moved to after some of their tomahawk-chopping supporters expressed discomfort at going downtown and the one that has repeatedly torpedoed public transit out of fear that the "wrong kind of people" might find their way there.
