After uncertainty and national attention, the Gámez-Cuéllar brothers are returning to the stage — this time alongside a Grammy-winning country star. – Three McAllen brothers are preparing to perform on one of Texas’ most iconic stages, about two months after they wereThe brothers, who are members of McAllen High School’s award-winning Mariachi Oro group, said that the performance will be one of the biggest of their careers.
“I’m super excited,” Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar said. “Me and Caleb, we already have gone to Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Capitol in Washington, D.C. But this is something else. ” “It’s another one that we can add to our collection,” Antonio said, “but it’s one of the biggest ones that we ever played.
” The invitation to perform with Musgraves came about two weeks after the family was released from detention.
“We’re doing pretty good,” 18-year-old Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar said. “We think that it’s going very well after we got released. We love to be back. ” The Gámez-Cuéllar family’s story drew widespread attention after they were detained during a routine immigration check-in with ICE.
The Gámez-Cuéllar family said they entered the United States through the now-defunct CBP One asylum process in 2023 after fleeing violence in Mexico. The Department of Homeland Security argued in March that the family entered illegally and was released into the country by the Biden administration.
“The law requires illegal aliens who show up at a port of entry without valid entry to be detained while all their claims are heard. You can look it up in the statute,” DHS said in the statement.
“Unlike the previous administration, the Trump administration is not going to ignore the rule of law. ”“Let’s not forget that this family followed the law and did everything it asked of them,” U.S. Rep Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, said in a statement.
“They should have never been detained in the first place, and their situation speaks to the grave injustices this Administration is inflicting on families in South Texas and across the country. ”“I feel so grateful for her and God for this opportunity that they have given me, given us, me and my brothers and my family,” he said. The brothers said audiences can expect surprises during the performances, though they already have a set list in mind.
Beyond the music, the brothers said they hope their story encourages other immigrant families and young musicians facing adversity.
“I think that most of the people that is criticizing us,” Antonio said, “it’s because they don’t look at us like as humans. And all of us are humans. ”“We honestly don’t hate. We love everybody,” Antonio said.
“We pray for every single person that hate us or that feel like any kind of hate for us to then open their eyes and to be blessed by God. ”McAllen family released from ICE custody after being detained, separated by ICE, Rep.
