The U.S. revokes the visa of Marina del Pilar's husband due to consular processing.

Mother's Day in Mexico was marked by news that shocked the political sphere: Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and her husband, Carlos Alberto Torres, were notified that the United States had revoked their tourist visas .
Both made the situation public through social media, emphasizing that it is an administrative procedure derived from the State Department's criteria , with no investigation or judicial ruling. The decision, although surprising, was communicated transparently by the couple.
Visa revocations can occur for a variety of reasons, but they do not always involve a legal violation. In this case, their status as high-level public officials may have prompted a re-evaluation of their immigration documents under internal U.S. government security and diplomatic rules.
Carlos Torres, a Morena member, explained that no specific reason was given for the cancellation, which is common in this type of consular procedure. He reiterated that his conscience is clear and that he is already working with experts in international immigration law to reverse the decision or request a new visa in accordance with the legal framework.
In a message filled with firmness and empathy, the governor expressed her full support for her husband , assuring them that both will remain within the framework of legality and bilateral respect.
"I am fully confident that the situation will be satisfactorily resolved. Carlos has always acted with integrity, dedication, and commitment to Baja California," said Marina del Pilar.
The president also acknowledged that she herself was subsequently notified of a similar ruling, so the process directly affects both of them, both personally and politically.
Relations between Mexican officials and U.S. immigration authorities have become stricter in recent years. Visa verification, revocation, and renewal processes have intensified, even without formal charges.
Carlos Torres noted that many public servants in Mexico have faced similar measures , highlighting a new standard in U.S. consular scrutiny of foreign political figures.
Both emphasized that their actions have been transparent. Torres stressed that his decision to make this situation public is a response to the need to avoid speculation or political attacks .
They are already in contact with immigration attorneys to file a motion for reconsideration or initiate a new formal application through established channels.
Although there are no accusations or charges, the visa revocation can be interpreted as a symbolic blow at a key moment for Marina del Pilar, positioned as one of Morena's most visible governors and a potential rising figure within the party.
However, her swift reaction, the institutional tone of the statement, and the support shown to her husband could mitigate any attempt to politicize the event.
