Members of a mariachi band from McAllen, Texas, who were once detained in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody are set to perform for country music star Kasey Musgraves at multiple concerts in the Texas Hill Country from May 3-5. The family was released from ICE custody in March following a routine check-in with immigration officials. The situation was not widely publicized until lawmakers and politicians took to social media to protest the family's detention. The teens are members of the McAllen High School Mariachi Oro band.
