The US withdraws a Mexican governor’s visa

  • The U.S. government revoked tourist visas for Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Vila and her husband Carlos Torres in early May 2025 without explanation.
  • The revocations follow past U.S. visa policies targeting officials as part of crackdowns on illegal immigration and narcotics trafficking, though specific reasons in this case remain undisclosed.
  • Both Vila and Torres stated the visa cancellation is not linked to any formal accusation or investigation and expressed confidence the issue will be resolved satisfactorily.
  • Vila described the situation as occurring in a 'complex binational context' requiring prudence, while local Morena party leaders and seven mayors publicly backed her amid the administrative procedure.
  • The revocation may impair Vila’s travel for official and personal reasons, complicating Mexico-U.S. relations along the sensitive Baja California border region.
