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.

Texas Mariachi Prodigy Freed After Detention Backlash

An 18-year-old Texas high school mariachi trumpeter, Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar, and his family were detained after a port-of-entry immigration check-in. Following bipartisan pressure from lawmakers including Rep. Monica De La Cruz and Rep. Joaquin Castro, the family was released from detention centers in Dilley and Raymondville and reunited. The family had sought asylum amid threats faced by their father, and their case has highlighted ongoing debates over immigration detention policies in the United States.
