Jamaican Dancehall artiste Andre Whittaker aka Squash, has reportedly been arrested in Florida on immigration-related charges.
A report by The Jamaica Observer states that he is being held at the Krome Detention Center in Miami.
The artiste was taken into custody recently for overstaying on his work visa.
Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis recently signed a Senate bill to clamp down on illegal immigration.
This isn’t Squash’s first stint in a detention facility.
In August 2018, he was detained in Jamaica under a State Of Emergency (SOE) sweep in St. James due to increased crime and violence in the parish. He spent five months in custody without charge, before being released in January 2019, one day before the SOE was due to expire.
He left Jamaica and performed in the United States for the first time in September 2019.
