The US Department of State canceled visas held by members of a Mexican drug glorification group.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said the Los Alegres del Baranko band had designed an image of El Mencho on a screen at a recent concert in Mexico.
El Mencho, whose real name is NEMESIO OSEGUERA RAMOS, is the leader of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) cartel, one of the most terrible tranquency drug gangs.
CJNG is one of the eight criminal groups that the Trump administration has recently announced “foreign terrorist organizations” as part of its strategy to “guarantee the overall removal” of these groups in the United States.
In a Post The X Landau says “in the Trump Administration, we take our responsibility for the access of foreigners to our country.”
He added that “the last thing we need is welcome for people who praise criminals and terrorists.”
The group fell apart to both the United States and the Mexican authorities on Saturday when they showed an image of El Mencho during their concert in the Mexican city of Tetan.
He was designed as they played a song that praises him as “a man of the war who loves his family” and praises his exploits as a four -letter cartel leader, a thinly veiled reference to CJNG.
Naorkoridos, songs, praising drug leaders, are not uncommon in Mexico.
Many groups that play Norteña Music, a genre characterized by catchy texts, often sing on a regiment inspired by a regiment and accompanied by accordion and twelve string bayo sexo – are paid by medicinal barons to make these songs.
Some groups rely on incomes at the beginning of their careers from hired to play private parties, many of whom host people participating in or with cartels.
The song that praises the mecho is not the only Naorkorido in Baranko's cheerful repertoire.
A larger song, entitled “701,” is for the leader of the Cause Sinaloa, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and how he rose to number 701 on the list of Forbes magazine to the most rich people in the world.
Considered before El Chapo is closed, he describes it as “the most sought after person in the world”, which is not only rich because there are “many bank notes”, but also because it “can rely on the friendship of people,” the song claims.
The concert, at which the group projects the image of El Mencho came just weeks after relatives looking for missing loved ones came across a ranch described by the authorities As a “training and extermination camp” for CJNGS
Hundreds of abandoned shoes and suitcases, as well as bone fragments and ovens found on the ranch, appear to show that the cartel has used it to train people who have recruited or by fraud, killing those who resisted.
Mexican President Claudia Shainbaum was among those who criticized the group.
Asked about the incident of her morning press conference, she said that “this should not happen, it is not right” and ordered an investigation.
Los Aigres del Baranko singer seems pleased with the mention of his band during a president's press conference.
Speaking in a video posted on Tiktok, he answered a fan's question about him, saying “How cool” and thanks the people “for all the support we received.”
