The artiste, whose given name is Ackeme Jermane Campbell, was listed on ICE’s online detainee locator last week, bringing his detention to public attention. The records show that Campbell, a Jamaican national, is currently being held in Florida.

ICE lists his current location as the Florida Soft Side South detention facility, located at 54575 Tamiami Trail East in Ochopee, Florida. The facility is part of the South Florida Detention Facility complex, often referred to as “Alligator Alcatraz,” which operates at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport inside the Big Cypress National Preserve. It is the first federally funded, state-run facility used to house federal immigration detainees.

At this time, the reason for Chronic Law’s detention has not been disclosed. No charges or immigration violations have been publicly detailed by U.S. authorities, and the artist’s management team or representatives have not issued an official statement.

Chronic Law had been arrested in November 2025 for reckless driving. His charges and mugshot were published by the Georgia Gazette.

Chronic Law is one of Jamaica’s most popular contemporary dancehall acts, known for a string of hit songs and a strong following both locally and internationally. His continued detention has sparked concern among fans, with questions mounting about his immigration status and next steps.

ICE has not provided additional information on the case, and it remains unclear how long the artist is expected to remain in custody or whether removal proceedings have been initiated.
