According to his reps, Savage immigrated to the U.S. at 7, left to visit the U.K. in 2005 and returned later in the month. His status expired in 2006.
Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia has come to Savage’s aid by sending a letter to the immigration judge and his lawyers continue to fight for Savage to stay in the United States.
Claims that She’yaa was hiding or their claims that he was detained because of prior convictions simply aren’t true. She’yaa was never convicted & he was openly seeking to renew his visa. Here’s my letter to ICE. #Free21Savage https://t.co/dDIlPbWYGy @OsopePatrisse

Attorney Deron Smallcomb says 21 Savage’s fame could really help his case.
“As a top entertainer and an internationally recognized talent, 21 Savage would be eligible to apply for permanent residence in the United States.” https://t.co/6luDh02yQI pic.twitter.com/3PADuZzuVF
