Josi Cuen and Josi Cuen

Mexican singers Josi Cuen and Jorge Medina have postponed the California dates of their "JUNTOS 2025 Estados Unidos" tour, citing immigration restrictions imposed by the U.S. government on regional Mexican performers.

In a joint statement released this week, the artists apologized to their fans and explained that the postponement was due to delays in the work visa process handled by the U.S. State Department. The singers described the issue as part of a broader tightening of immigration policies affecting artists in the genre.

"We regret to inform you that the San Jose, Los Angeles, Chula Vista, Fresno, and Sacramento dates for "JUNTOS 2025 Estados Unidos" will be rescheduled due to the visa process for "Josi Cuen" and her team. We understand that this news will change your plans and we deeply appreciate your love and understanding in this situation, which is beyond our control," they stated in a post on their Instagram accounts.

"We're working hard to ensure this wait is worth it. We promise you an unforgettable show when we reunite!" they concluded.

The former members of the Arrolladora Banda El Limón are part of an unwelcome list of Mexican artists who have had to cancel their professional activities in the United States due to visa issues.

It all started after Los Alegres del Barranco projected images of El Mencho and El Chapo during a show in Mexico and had their visas revoked, forcing the cancellation of their tour in the country.

Another affected person was Julión Álvarez, who had to postpone a concert packed with 50,000 fans at AT&T Stadium in Texas after announcing on May 24 that his visa had been revoked the day before the show.

Meanwhile, Grupo Firme canceled a concert at the "La Onda Fest" festival in Napa Valley, stating that both their visas and those of their team were under "administrative review." Oscar Maydón and Lorenzo Monteclaro have also had to cancel their performances.

These measures reflect an increasingly restrictive immigration policy of the U.S. State Department, which has justified these actions by arguing a concern to prevent the entry of expressions considered to be an apology for crime.
