The visa cancellations target at least one state governor and other key officials, according to Los Angeles Times. Sheinbaum denounced the move as "political" during her regular morning news conference. "These are attempts to interfere, to meddle in Mexican politics," she said.
López Beltrán recently stepped down from his leadership role in Morena to run for Congress and is seen as a potential future presidential candidate. He called the visa revocation "political and propagandist" in a letter addressed to President Trump, according to Reuters. The U.S. State Department has not publicly responded.
The Trump administration has been actively canceling visas of government officials from Mexico and other nations as part of its campaign against drug cartels. This includes at least 50 Mexican politicians across the political spectrum, per Al Jazeera. Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico will not relinquish its sovereignty in response to U.S. pressure.
