The countdown to the December 8, 2018 slated US prison release of top Caribbean-born reggae star, Buju Banton, is being touted all across social media, but according to immigration experts, the singer will still have to endure additional detention before he is finally deported.
But according to US immigration experts, on the day Banton, born Mark Anthony Myrie, is set to be released from the U.S. federal prison system, he will be handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (US ICE) agents, who will take him to a detention facility to await deportation to Jamaica.
That’s because an immigration detainer, also known as an ICE hold or an immigration detainer, will be placed on Banton, 45, by the the government to notify prison officials at the McRae penitentiary in Georgia not to release him from prison.
Typically, detainers are issued by an authorized immigration official or local police officer designated to act as an immigration official. Detainers instruct federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies to hold individuals for up to 48 business hours beyond the time they otherwise would have been released.
What Happens Next?
Banton will likely be transferred into federal custody of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security since the crime he committed and served his time for makes him/her deportable from the U.S. He will then have to await on the Consulate of Jamaica in the Southern District to secure approval that the country will accept him back to Jamaica. Given his status, more than likely efforts will be made to plan ahead to augment and process him in the quickest way possible within the rules and regulations of the laws.
