Teen mariachi trio detained by ICE to open for Kacey Musgraves in Texas
Three teenage mariachi musicians, the Gámez-Cuéllar brothers, who were detained by ICE in February alongside their parents, have been invited by Kacey Musgraves to open for her at upcoming Texas shows. The brothers were released in March following bipartisan outcry after their arrest, despite having participated in legal proceedings and community activities. Musgraves, a Texas native and Grammy winner, announced the performance opportunity as part of her Middle of Nowhere tour. The shows will take place at Gruene Hall, a historic Texas music venue, with one date coinciding with Cinco de Mayo.
