Governor of Mexican state says the US withdrew tourist visas from her and her husband
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The governor of the Mexican state of Baja California, which borders the U.S., said on social media Sunday that the United States withdrew tourist visas from her and her husband.
Marina del Pilar Ávila, from the ruling Morena party, did not say why her visa was withdrawn.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy said that visa records are confidential and that the details of individual cases cannot be discussed.
Baja California borders California and day-to-day commercial ties between the two states run deep.
”I fully trust that the situation will be satisfactorily clarified for both of us,” Ávila said on X.
Her husband, Carlos Torres Torres, who is an active member of Morena, said his “conscience is clear,” in a statement on Facebook on Saturday.
“This proceeding does not represent a formal accusation, investigation or indictment by any authority in Mexico or the United States,” he added. ____
