The American State Department reprimanded the visas held by members of the Mexican band for the “glory of the drugs of drugs”.
Deputy State Secretary Christopher Landau said the band Los Alesgres del Barranco projected a picture of El Mencho on a screen at a recent concert in Mexico.
El Mencho, whose real name is not an Oseguer Ramos, is the leader of the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), one of the most terrible transnational drug gangs.
Cjng is one of the eight criminal groups that Trump’s administration has recently declared “foreign terrorist organizations” as part of its strategy to “ensure the total removal of these groups in the US.
In a publish On X, Landau wrote “in Trump’s administration, we seriously take our responsibility in relation to the access of foreigners in our country.”
He added that “the last thing we need is a welcome rug for people who transmit criminals and terrorists.”
The band fell on Saturday for the US and Mexican authorities when they showed a picture of El Mencho during a concert in Mexican city.
It was designed while playing a song that praised him as a “war man who loves his family” and ejected his features as a four -letter cartel leader, a thinly concealed reference to Cjng.
Narcocorridos, songs praising the leaders of drug cartel are not uncommon in Mexico.
Many bands playing Norteña Music – a genre characterized by striking texts that are often sung in the rhythm inspired polka and in the interventions of accordion and twelve Bajo Sexto – pay the Baron’s drugging to compile these songs.
Some bands rely on their career revenue from engaging in private parties, many of whom host people involved in or with cartel relationships.
A song that praises Mencho is not the only Narcorcho in the cheerful repertoire of Barranac.
The earlier song, entitled 701, speaks of the leader of the Sinalo cartel, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, and as he rose to the number 701 in the Forbes magazine magazine magazine.
Composed before El Chapo was in prison, he describes him as a “most wanted man in the world” who is not only rich because he has “many banknotes”, but also because “he can count on the friendship of people,” the song claims.
The concert on which the band projected the image of El Mencho came only a few weeks after relatives in search of missing loved ones came across a ranch described by authorities As “training and extermination” for CJNG.
Hundreds of abandoned shoes and suitcases, as well as bone and oven fragments, which are on the ranch, seem to indicate that the cartel used it to train people who forcibly recruited or deception, killing those who resisted.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was among those who criticized the band.
Asked about the incident at her morning press conference, she said that “this should not happen, it is not okay” and ordered the investigation.
Singer Los Alegres del Barranco seemed pleased to mention her band during the president’s press conference.
Speaking in a video posted on Tiktoc, he answered the question of fans about it, saying “how was cool” and thanks to people “to all the support we received”.
