An American rock band is left baffled after their drummer was ‘forcibly removed’ from their flight to start a European tour by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, though his criminal record has since been exposed.

Yamil Said is the drummer for Texas rockers Lord Buffalo, a Mexican citizen and a green card holder.

The band posted that Said was ‘forcibly removed from our flight to Europe’ by CBP at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Monday. 

‘He has not been released, and we have been unable to contact him,’ the band wrote, saying they were ‘heartbroken’ to have to cancel their tour. 

‘We are currently working with an immigration lawyer to find out more information and to attempt to secure his release.’

However, the Department of Homeland Security posted that while Said is a lawful permanent resident, there were warrants out for him and a criminal record.

‘Yamal Said is a Mexican national and lawful U.S. permanent resident,’ they wrote in a post to X. 

‘Said had a warrant for his arrest after violating a restraining order at least TWICE. If you come to our country and break our laws, you will be arrested.’

‘When he was attempting to leave the U.S., he was apprehended by CBP and has been turned over to local law enforcement.’

The band have yet to comment on those allegations and have been asked by Said’s family to lay low, according to a Facebook post.

‘We still know very little about the situation, but we have been asked by our drummer’s family and his legal team to respect their privacy while this situation evolves,’ they said. 

Earlier in the day, the band posted that Said ‘has secured legal representation’ while adding that ‘we truly don’t know what’s going on.’

Online jail records obtained by KUT News confirm that Said committed a felony by breaking a restraining order. There are no further details regarding the charges.

Donald Trump won the White House election last November in large part on promises to combat what he repeatedly claimed is an invasion of criminal migrants.

Trump has sent troops to the Mexican border, imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada for allegedly not doing enough to stop illegal crossings, and designated gangs like TdA and MS-13 as terrorist groups.

In March Trump invoked the little-known Alien Enemies Act and flew two planeloads of alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador’s notorious maximum security CECOT prison.

In a proclamation, Trump said Tren de Aragua was engaged in ‘hostile actions’ and ‘threatening an invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States,’ adding that Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro was pulling the strings.

In the most publicized case to date, Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported to CECOT before the Trump administration admitted he was sent there due to an ‘administrative error.’ 

Trump said he has not spoken to El Salvador’s president about returning Abrego Garcia.
