Kacey Musgraves Enlists ICE-Detained Mariachi Brothers for Texas Shows

Kacey Musgraves has tapped the Gámez-Cuéllar brothers—Antonio, Caleb and Joshua, members of Mariachi Oro—to open three Texas stops on her Middle of Nowhere tour at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels; the brothers were detained by ICE earlier this year during a court check-in linked to their asylum-seeking family and were released in March, a situation Musgraves says she wants to highlight by spotlighting Tejano and mariachi music on her upcoming album.

ICE detention prompts teen mariachi trio to open for Kacey Musgraves in Texas

Three teenage mariachi brothers—Antonio (18), Caleb (14) and Joshua (12)—detained with their parents by ICE in February were released after bipartisan backlash and have been tapped to open for Kacey Musgraves on her Middle of Nowhere tour at Gruene Hall in Texas (May 3–5, Cinco de Mayo). Their family, who arrived in the U.S. in 2023 seeking asylum after fleeing cartel threats, had been held in Dilley and in an adult facility for Antonio, drawing attention from lawmakers and supporters who urged humane treatment for talented performers navigating the immigration system.
