Andres Lopez Beltran Denounces US Visa Revocation as Political Attack

The revocation, attributed by Beltran to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau, arrives amid a wider American initiative targeting Mexican officials over alleged links to organized crime. More than 50 visas have been canceled under this pressure, a trend that has drawn sharp condemnation from the Mexican government.

President Claudia Sheinbaum framed the decision as a blatant infringement on national sovereignty and a form of unacceptable interference in domestic political affairs. While the U.S. embassy and State Department maintain silence on the specific case, the tension underscores a growing rift between the two nations regarding judicial oversight and diplomatic protocol. For his part, Beltran maintains the restriction is a crude attempt to influence his political trajectory.
