’s status as a Dreamer, hoping a groundswell of public support could help get him released. And it did, after nine harrowing days.
Many of Brook's contacts came from working with the Obama administration's Office of Public Engagement, and now she had aligned with them on a different sort of call to action. The coalition helped circulate graphics on 21's situation and get them into the hands of influential figures with massive social followings. Within 48 hours, celebrities from Cardi B to Jay-Z were raising awareness for 21’s cause; the latter even hired another lawyer, Alex Spiro, for 21's team.
21 Savage already had what’s known as a U visa pending. According to his team, ICE was aware of his status and hadn’t tried to detain him—until he made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show in early February, performing his song “A Lot” with a new verse that tookat U.S. immigration policy. He was pulled over driving home from a concert in Atlanta less than a week later; Kuck says 21 overheard an officer say “We got him” as the rapper was transferred to an ICE vehicle.
Once 21’s co-manager Kei Henderson figured out where he was being held, she drove with 21's mother and legal team to the facility, four hours from Atlanta—it “looked like a jail,” she says—for a visit. Henderson wasn’t allowed in; she had to wait in the car while the others spoke with 21. The rapper’s mother focused on keeping him in a positive mindset while the legal team talked over the state of his case, hoping to get him out ahead of a planned performance at the Grammys.
