US EditionUS Embassy Debunks Viral 'Narco-Politician' List
- The US Embassy in Mexico denied a fake statement circulating on social media that falsely identified Mexican political leaders with drug cartel ties in June 2025.
- The denial followed ProPublica's May 2024 reports about the Trump administration imposing travel restrictions and sanctions on Mexican politicians linked to drug trafficking.
- The reports named multiple officials, including governors and lawmakers, allegedly involved with cartels such as Beltrán-Leyva and Sinaloa, but Mexican authorities and some politicians denied wrongdoing.
- The embassy stated the supposed US Department of State list with a Homeland Security seal is "completely false," and Mexican President López Obrador described the claims as false as well.
- This clarification underlines ongoing tensions and misinformation about US actions targeting Mexican officials linked to narcotrafficking and highlights diplomatic sensitivity around visa revocations.
