Nationwide News can reveal that the reason behind the detention of entertainer Chronic Law by immigration officials in January had to do with the revocation of the visa allowing him to live and work in the United States.

The revocation stemmed from his arrest for speeding and attempting to evade the police in Turner Country, Georgia, in November 2025.

That speeding case has snowballed into Chronic now being before federal courts on gun possession charges.

The entertainer’s given name is Ackeme Jermane Campbell. He was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, on January 12, 2026, in Miami, Florida.

After spending about 10 weeks in jail, the entertainer was released and subsequently debuted new music.

But court documents seen by our news centre reveal that following his arrest in November for speeding and being in possession of stolen property, Chronic Law’s O-1B visa was revoked on January 2.

The O-1B visa allows people of extraordinary talent in certain fields to live and work in the US.

According to the documents, the visa revocation became effective the same day it was revoked, unless he was in the US when it was issued. In that case, the visa remains valid until he leaves the country.

Records indicate that Chronic Law had departed the US after his November arrest and returned on December 10 before the revocation was issued.

Ten days after the revocation Chronic Law was detained by ICE.

Sixty-five days after his arrest, on March 18, Immigration Judge Anthony Maingot terminated the proceeding against Chronic Law.

The judge said Chronic Law was not removable, because his visa remained valid until the revocation became effective.

Once he leaves the country or the visa expires in May 2027, Chronic Law will have to reapply for a visa to enter the United States.
