ATLANTA - Rapper 21 Savage has donated $25,000 to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that helped him when he was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this year.

The Grammy-nominated artist, whose real name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was taken into custody in DeKalb County, Georgia, on Feb. 3 on charges that he is from the United Kingdom and overstayed his visa. He has long called DeKalb his home.

His attorney, Charles Kuck, said in a statement that Abraham-Joseph is making the SPLC donation public “because everyday Americans need to know that ICE is using civil immigration detention as a weapon against immigrants, many of whom, like 21 Savage, have relief from deportation and are able to fix their immigration status.”

I live a mile from SPLC. It’s reputation stinks in this town. Absolutely stinks.

“because everyday Americans need to know that ICE is using civil immigration detention as a weapon against immigrants, many of whom, like 21 Savage, have relief from deportation and are able to fix their immigration status.”

He could have "fixed" his immigration status by getting an extension on his visa - or going back to the UK and getting a new one.

But nooooo... - he is above the law, and organizations like this make sure there are no consequences.

Find him, catch him, tie him up and deport him!

So he actually DID overstay his visa...

[miss marmelstein]

They’ll take his money and screw him over. Even the libs in town hate that place. Truly.

His attorney, Charles Kuck,...

Chuck Kuck?

...Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group...

Wrong. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

A fool and his money are soon parted.

If that money had gone to the Salvation Army it would have actually done some good, instead of paying for SPLC vacations.

That now has 25k to screw people over as best they can because they got their A$$€$ handed to them in a Lawsuit a while back and they had to Pay out Millions.

[Does so]

A Poverty Center?

In America, where The Poor are fat?

“Creating oppressively adverse conditions of detention, like those in Irwin County, Georgia, far away from family and legal counsel, causes despair and hopelessness, and forces these men and women to give up on their immigration claims,” said Kuck, a managing partner at the Atlanta-based firm Kuck Baxter Immigration LLC.

How does he have an 'immigration' claim if he came on the type if visa (I didn't see the actual type listed) which expires? Aren't all visas which have an expiry date 'non-immigrant' visas?

Well, that's great. Give $25,000 to a known fraud institute, set-up merely to scam money for the leaders' own pockets.

If this idiot thinks his money is going to a good cause, he's mistaken.

But he might want to rethink that position when he finds out it just goes into the pockets of the leaders of this corrupt organization.

The veil has been lifted on the SPLC.

Have you seen the size of some of those mamas climbing over the wall to “escape poverty”? Yikes! We’re going to need more food stamps.

And have a $1000.00 cell phone, a car, flat screen TV, cable, free housing, food stamps, free schools, free healthcare, free etc,etc,etc.

We have the richest poor people in the world and they still complain. Being that I pay for all this shit I would just like to have ONE of them say Thank You!
