President Trump Pardons Rapper NBA YoungBoy in Flurry of Clemency Actions
By Joey Garrison, USA Today
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump pardoned rapper NBA YoungBoy as part of a spree of reprieves this week, including one for a couple known on reality television and a commuted federal sentence for a former Chicago gang leader convicted of murder.
A White House official confirmed the May 28 pardon of Louisiana-based NBA YoungBoy, 25, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden.
He was serving a 23-month sentence for federal gun charges as part of a plea deal reached with federal prosecutors in December. The previous month, Gaulden pleaded guilty to his involvement in a Utah pharmacy drug ring, but he avoided incarceration and paid a $25,000 fine.

Mexican Band Forced to Cancel US Show After Trump Administration Denies Entry
AP Correspondent, The Independent
An acclaimed Mexican regional music band has announced the cancellation of their scheduled performance at a California music festival this weekend.
Grupo Firme shared the news after the suspension of the musicians’ visas by the United States government.
In a statement posted on their Instagram account, the band explained that the visas of the group and their team are currently under “administrative review by the US Embassy,” rendering it “impossible” for them to perform at La Onda Fest in Napa Valley, California, on June 1.
The band, which has gained international recognition for its Mexican regional music, did not elaborate on the long-term implications of the visa issues.
The US State Department’s decision to revoke the visas of several Mexican musicians is reportedly due to their performance of music that allegedly glorifies cartel violence.
