Mexico City CNN — The governor of the Mexican state of Baja California says the United States has withdrawn tourist visas from her and her husband. Marina del Pilar Ávila, of the ruling Morena party, posted on social media on Sunday that she and her husband had been notified of the consular measure, without specifying the reason for the Trump administration’s decision. ”I fully trust that the situation will be satisfactorily clarified for both of us,” Ávila said on X.
The Baja California press office confirmed to CNN that Ávila’s visa had been withdrawn. A spokesperson for the US Embassy told The Associated Press that visa records are confidential and that the details of individual cases cannot be discussed.
The governor’s husband, Carlos Torres, a politician and active member of the Morena party, said the visa revocation “does not represent an accusation, investigation, or formal indictment by any authority, neither in Mexico nor in the United States.” He said in a post on Facebook on Saturday that his “conscience is clear.”
Baja California, which borders the US state of California, sees the most pedestrian crossings of any Mexican state bordering the United States.
