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.

Relatives Reveal Identities of McAllen Mariachi Students Detained by ICE

A family member confirmed the identities of three McAllen High School Mariachi Oro students detained by ICE after a February meeting: Antonio Gamez-Cuellar (18), Caleb Gamez-Cuellar (14), and Joshua Gamez-Cuellar (12). Denise Robles, a distant relative, said the parents are Luis Antonio Gamez and Emma Guadalupe Cuellar; Antonio and Caleb are Mariachi Oro members. The family migrated to the Rio Grande Valley in 2023 under the CBP One program, fleeing violence in San Luis Potosí. Antonio is reportedly held in a detention facility in Raymondville, with the others in Dilley, Texas. McAllen ISD declined to comment; local officials and lawmakers have issued statements about border policy and humane treatment while the situation unfolds, with more details expected Monday.
