In recent developments, the governor of Baja California, a Mexican state adjacent to the U.S., announced via social media that authorities in the United States have revoked tourist visas for her and her spouse.
Marina del Pilar Ávila, associated with the ruling political party Morena, did not provide specific reasons behind the revocation of their visas. The situation remains opaque as the U.S. Embassy maintains that visa records are confidential, thus preventing disclosure of details related to such individual circumstances.
Baja California, sharing a border with California, maintains significant commercial relations with its neighboring state, suggesting the repercussions could have broader implications.
Ávila expressed confidence that the matter would eventually be resolved. In her post on social media platform X, she stated, “I fully trust that the situation will be satisfactorily clarified for both of us.”
Meanwhile, her husband, Carlos Torres Torres, also a member of Morena, echoed similar sentiments on his Facebook page. He reassured, “This proceeding does not represent a formal accusation, investigation or indictment by any authority in Mexico or the United States,” asserting his clear conscience in the matter.
