Sheinbaum: No US Warning on Visa Revocations for Baja California Governor

Mexico City, May 13, 2025 - Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government of Mexico City, addressed the recent revocation of US visas for Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila and her husband. In a press conference, Sheinbaum stated, "Ayer… lo supimos por el comunicado que emitió la propia gobernadora." She emphasized that neither she nor her government received any prior notification from US authorities. Sheinbaum's comments highlight the lack of communication between the two countries on this matter. The situation underscores the complexities of diplomatic relations and the potential for unforeseen consequences in international affairs. Further investigation is needed to fully understand the reasons behind the visa revocations.
