21 Savage’s Immigration Status Is Still Pending Due To His 2019 Criminal Case

21 Savage’s immigration case has been halted due to his pending criminal case.

According to Savage’s immigration attorney, his 3-year-long immigration case is being paused until his criminal case is resolved. In 2019, Savage was arrested by ICE for illegally living in the U.S. years after his visa expired.

Authorities allege that a handgun was found in the rapper’s vehicle. They also claim that Savage threw out a bottle of codeine upon detainment.

The story then turns because somehow, DeKalb County D.A. failed to charge Savage with possession of a gun and possession of a schedule II controlled substance during the initial arrest. However, Savage eventually got hit with the charges in January 2022 despite him turning himself in on September 2021.

At the time, Savage’s lawyer said, “Last night’s manufactured charges are yet another example of how our justice system, from ICE down to the local level, unjustly targets young Black men who seek to exercise their rights. There is no legitimate basis for these charges nor for ICE’s continued antics. And we will fight until Mr. Joseph is justly vindicated.”

If found guilty in his criminal case, Savage will ultimately be deported back to the United Kingdom and receive a 10-year ban from returning to America.
