Dancehall artist Chronic Law listed in ICE custody, records show

Public booking records published by the Georgia Gazette show that Campbell was arrested and booked into the Turner County Jail on November 15, 2025. The booking, published on November 23, lists multiple traffic-related charges, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, reckless driving, improper or erratic lane change, driver exercise due care, and speeding in excess of maximum limits.

ICE’s detainee locator confirms that Campbell, a Jamaican national, is currently in immigration custody. However, the agency has not disclosed the specific detention facility, directing inquiries to ICE for further details. No information has been made public regarding bond eligibility, immigration status, or potential removal proceedings.

Chronic Law rose to prominence in Jamaica’s dancehall scene in the late 2010s, earning recognition for his raw, introspective lyrics and socially conscious themes. He is known for tracks such as “Empty,” “Hillside,” and “Nuh Like People,” and has built a loyal following both in Jamaica and across the diaspora.

As of publication, neither ICE nor representatives for the artist have issued an official statement addressing the arrest or his current legal situation. ICE listings and jail bookings are administrative records and do not constitute a finding of guilt. The matter remains developing.
