Lord Buffalo Cancels Tour After Border Patrol ‘Forcibly Removed’ Mexican Drummer From Flight

A Texas band has canceled its European tour after claiming that border patrol "forcibly removed" their Mexican drummer from their flight.

With just one day left before their trek had been scheduled to kick off Thursday (May 15) in the Netherlands, the group members wrote in their joint statement that, moments before they’d been supposed to take off for Europe on Monday (May 12), their bandmate was escorted off the plane at at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. In an update to the caption posted later Thursday afternoon, Lord Buffalo thanked fans for their “outpouring of support” and shared that Yamal had “secured the legal representation he needs.” “We are waiting to hear what comes next,” the band added. As reported by Billboard, the administration’s policies have had a particular effect on the Latin music industry, with many artists sharing that they’ve seen a distinct drop in attendance levels due to concertgoers fearing deportation.
