The other day I got a wack email from a friend, he told me one of are good friends Kutmah has been detained and he's facing deportation back to England.
I've known Kutmah for over 12 years now, we met back in the day at a vintage shop we both worked at and we became friends instantly. I have to say I've been lucky to hold down the turntables with this guy cus if you know, or seen Kutmah get down he's a beast, and all got heat in the crates. We held down 2 residency together Firecracker, and good old Sketchbook.
For all you beat heads Sketchbook was the night for beats. He schooled, and put me on game with so much good tunes, and it breaks my heart my good friend could be leaving the country.
Here's a little background on Kutmah's story.
Thank's all!

Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with his mother when he was 12 years old.
They immediately applied for residency to keep them from being sent to Egypt. As a British citizen the court ruled that he would
be able to live in the UK which in their eyes wasn't such a bad place. They denied their application.
Kutmah and his Mom returned to court to plead their case 14 years ago when Kutmah was 20. They were again denied a green card and
were urged to sign a document stating they would voluntary leave the US. They ended up staying because this is home.
On Wednesday morning, May 5th armed agents entered Kutmah's house and detained him. He was brought to a facility in downtown LA where
he was interrogated. On Thursday he was moved to New Mexico. His case will come up against the prosecutor very soon and he may face
deportation. We need to show how important Kutmah is to the LA and US community. Please write a letter and spread the word!

best accomplished by a press campaign, by including the names of the Senators into the actual articles and blog postings.

To Whom it May Concern:
Justin McNulty is a highly talented artist, DJ and music producer who is a beloved member of the Los Angeles creative community.
For well over a decade he has devoted his substantial skills to the betterment of our community through positive, artistic actions.
Mr. McNulty has selflessly donated his time and exceptional talents to numerous charitable and non-profit causes. He has garnered
worldwide acclaim through these efforts based in the United States.
Mr. McNulty’s individual community arts service is a testament to modern philanthropy. In an age when institutional funding is slim
he has taken personal action to better our country by inspiring its citizens through progressive cultural outreach.
I fully support Justin McNulty’s right to stay in the United States and urge your positive and swift action in this matter. His deportation
would be a devastating loss to Los Angeles and the American arts.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
