Visas For Dozens Of Politicians In Mexico Revoked By Trump Administration
The U.S. government has revoked the visas of at least 50 politicians and government officials in Mexico, Reuters first reported.
The move comes amid the Trump administration’s push to crackdown on drug cartels and their “suspected political allies,” the outlet stated.

Reuters shared further info:
The move has sent quiet shockwaves through Mexico’s political elite, who regularly travel to the U.S. and require a visa to do so. It also marks a significant broadening of U.S. anti-narcotics action, with the Trump administration targeting active politicians usually seen as too diplomatically sensitive.
One of the sources, a senior Mexican politician, said more than 50 politicians from the ruling Morena party have had their visas revoked, as well as dozens of officials from other political parties. The sources requested anonymity to speak on a sensitive topic.
Reuters was unable to ascertain the names of the Mexican officials whose visas have been revoked. So far, only four have publicly confirmed they lost their visas, including Baja California state Governor Marina del Pilar Avila, who has categorically denied any links to organized crime.
The U.S. does not need to provide explanations for revoking someone’s visa and the threshold for doing so is much lower than for imposing sanctions or a prosecution, sources said.
“Visas, including those held by foreign officials, may be revoked at any time” for “activities that run contrary to America’s national interest,” a U.S. State Department official told Reuters.
“The Trump administration has had a good working relationship with the Sheinbaum government, and we look forward to continuing to advance our bilateral relationship in the interest of the America first foreign policy agenda,” the official added.

The Trump administration has revoked visas from government officials in other Latin American countries in recent weeks.
The Guardian explained:
The state department said last month it would pull the visa of the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, after he spoke at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York and urged US soldiers to disobey Trump’s orders.
In Brazil, more than 20 top judges and officials have lost their visas, while in Costa Rica, at least 14 politicians and business leaders, including the former president and Nobel prize peace laureate Óscar Arias, have had theirs revoked. Arias, who had been critical of Trump on social media, said he was given no reason for the revocation.
In Mexico, the widespread visa revocations – especially of members of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s ruling Morena party – threaten to complicate the country’s already uneasy relationship with the United States.
Amid high-stakes trade negotiations and security talks, Sheinbaum has opted to collaborate closely with the US to go after the cartels. Still, she has condemned repeated suggestions by Trump administration officials that the US could take unilateral military action in Mexico, which she has said would violate Mexico’s sovereignty.
A third source with knowledge of the visa process said the revocations are part of Trump’s security strategy, adding that the administration’s designation of some cartels as terrorist organizations means intelligence held by the Drug Enforcement Administration increasingly affects someone’s US visa status.
