The Trump administration has recently imposed travel restrictions on two Mexican officials it believes are linked to drug-related corruption in their country. U.S. officials are now reportedly saying more individuals are set to be targeted as they continue flagging officials for alleged ties to criminal organizations, particularly drug cartels.
Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila and her husband — a former congressman — recently had their U.S. visas revoked. Separately, Mexican media outlets reported that the visa of Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal was also revoked, even though that has not been officially confirmed as visa records are confidential under U.S. law.
