Did you verify your ISO after download?  (the check takes 1-2 secs; I already provided a link for that in last comment)
Did you verify the write to your install media? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck)

In my experience the second is where failures occur.. ie. bad writes.
On Ubuntu 20.04 (and flavors) this check occurs automatically; for older
releases it required the user to initiate it. Had you have done this
check, the problem would have been detected & would have highlighted a
prior step failed (ie. write to media unless you skipped the ISO
validation too).

Squashfs errors are inability to read the data on the install media,
either because of bad device (faulty/unreliable), bad data on device
(ISO wasn't checked or bad write to install media).
