Loose Ends Singer Jane Eugene Reportedly Facing Deportation Over Expired U.S. Visa

British-born R&B singer Jane Eugene, best known as the voice behind the ’80s hit-making group Loose Ends, is reportedly in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after overstaying her visa by nearly two decades. Eugene is currently being held at an ICE detention facility in upstate New York near the Canadian border. The singer, who has lived and worked in the United States for years, is now facing possible deportation and serious immigration consequences, including a potential 10-year ban on reentry. Eugene rose to fame in the mid-1980s as a key member of Loose Ends, the British R&B group known for chart-topping tracks like “Hanging on a String (Contemplating)” and “Slow Down.” In recent years, she has led a U.S.-based version of the band, performing live shows and remaining active in the American music circuit. Her reported immigration status has come as a shock to fans and industry peers, many of whom were unaware of her visa troubles. Legal experts note that a visa overstay of this length—19 years—typically triggers removal proceedings and could have long-term implications on her ability to return to the United States, even if she voluntarily departs. At this time, no official statement has been released from Eugene or her representatives. It is unclear whether she has legal counsel or plans to contest the deportation proceedings.
