RAYMONDVILLE — A McAllen family that includes two award-winning high school mariachi students who were invited to the White House were released from immigration detention Monday following mounting uproar over their detention last month.
Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar, 18, walked out of the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville along with U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, a Republican from Edinburg, who took steps to secure his release after news of his and his family’s detention drew outrage throughout the region.
