Country singer Kacey Musgraves announced that the Gámez-Cuéllar brothers, a teenage mariachi trio who were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in February, will open for her at several shows in Texas.

Texas Judge Orders Release of Alleged Colorado Attacker's Family Amid Controversial ICE Detention

Texas Judge Orders Release of Alleged Colorado Attacker's Family Amid Controversial ICE Detention

A Texas federal judge ordered the release of Hayam El Gamal and her five children from an ICE detention center after nearly a year in custody. The family was initially detained following charges against El Gamal's husband for an alleged attack in Colorado. Despite the judge's order, ICE attempted to deport the family to Egypt, leading to emergency legal interventions that halted the deportation mid-flight. The family's lawyers argue that the detention and attempted deportation violated court orders and constituted unlawful treatment. The case highlights the increasing number of immigrants held in prolonged detention and raises questions about the enforcement of immigration laws under the Trump administration.
