Son of Former Mexican President López Obrador Says US Revoked His Visa and Appeals Directly to Trump
He says U.S. officials gave no evidence and made the revocation part of a broader crackdown that has hit more than 50 Mexican politicians, AP reported.
- On Thursday, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said the United States revoked his visa and appealed to President Donald Trump for an explanation.
- Reuters reported last year that the U.S. government had revoked visas for at least 50 Mexican politicians and officials as part of a crackdown on drug cartels and their alleged political allies.
- López Beltrán denied any wrongdoing and labeled the revocation "a crude and perverse act" by officials he said target foreign politicians as "threats to U.S. security."
- On Friday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said U.S. visa revocations targeting "politically exposed persons" are "essentially political" because they are not applied equally across countries.
- The 39-year-old politician recently stepped down from Morena party leadership as he prepares to seek a seat in Mexico's lower house of Congress in the 2027 midterm elections.
