Rapper Frankie Jax No Mad, aka Baraka Njenga, was detained by ICE earlier this month while out for dinner—his partner broke the news on Instagram. Now moved from Portland to Tacoma, Baraka, a Kenyan-born artist with over 40 years in the U.S. and a decade-long underground LA rap career, awaits legal counsel and a judge. His partner is heroically managing his affairs, pets, and bills while advocating for him. This is a high-stakes, emotional chapter in Baraka’s life—and we’re watching closely.
