Mariachi band star detained by ICE performs ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ for the Fourth of July

A mariachi musician arrested by federal immigration authorities performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” to commemorate the Fourth of July while locked up inside a Texas detention center where he is still being held.

Hebert Kaleth Ibarra Castro, 20, was four years old when he arrived in the U.S. with this family after fleeing violence in Mexico, according to Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro, who is advocating for his release. Hebert Castro was still wearing his mariachi attire after performing at a birthday party when he was arrested outside San Antonio last month.
