Yamal Said, drummer for the band Lord Buffalo, was detained at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport due to an outstanding arrest warrant for violating a protective order. Although a green card holder, Said's legal troubles led to the cancellation of the band's international tour, as they aimed to prioritize his safety and situation. The incident drew attention when fellow band Orsak:Oslo expressed their shock over the arrest, emphasizing that no artist should face jail for pursuing their craft, highlighting the complexity of legal issues tied to migration and artist expression.
If you come to our country and break our laws, you will be arrested. When he was attempting to leave the US, he was apprehended by CBP.
We're devastated by the situation Lord Buffalo and their drummer Yamal have been forced into. No one should be pulled off a plane and jailed for simply trying to travel and make art.
