BURSTThe governor of the Mexican state of Baja California said she and her husband were informed that their U.S. tourist visas have been withdrawn.
In a post on social media on X, Marina del Pilar Ávila said she was informed that her visa was revoked via consular message, shortly after her husband, Carlos Torres, received a similar memo.
The governor and her husband are both members of the ruling Morena party.
“I am certain and fully trust that the situation will be resolved satisfactorily for both of us,” Ávila said in her X post, according to a translation.
Torres also said he was remaining calm, in a post on Facebook Saturday.
“It should be noted that my conscience is calm and I am sure that the situation will be resolved favorably. Currently, the application of these administrative criteria has become increasingly common, and like so many others, I am included in that universe,” Torres wrote on Facebook.
“This procedure does not represent accusation, investigation or formal indication by any authority, neither in Mexico nor in the United States,” he continued.
A spokesperson with the U.S. Embassy told The Associated Press that visa records are confidential so details of individual cases cannot be discussed.
Neither Ávila nor Torres said why the visas were revoked.
The Hill has reached out to the State Department and to the U.S. Embassy for comment.
