The governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila, confirmed that the United States has revoked her tourist visa and that of her husband, Carlos Torres Torres, a senior state official. In statements made in social media, Ávila disclosed that her husband was the first to be notified of the revocation and that she received a similar notice shortly after.

Ávila, a member of Mexico's ruling Morena party, did not indicate a specific reason for the U.S. decision but characterized the situation as part of a "complex binational context" requiring "composure and prudence." She expressed confidence that the matter would be clarified.
