The Trump administration has revoked the visas of at least 50 politicians and government officials in Mexico as part of its crackdown against drug cartels and their suspected political allies, according to Reuters.

Their names haven’t been publicly confirmed, but at least four officials have acknowledged losing visas — including Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila, who has denied any links to organized crime.
A State Department official did not confirm the report but said that visas can be revoked for a variety of reasons that violate U.S. law and other activities that run contrary to America’s national interest. The official emphasized that visas are a privilege, not a right.
The official told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration has had a good working relationship with the Sheinbaum government and looks forward to continuing to advance its bilateral relationship in support of the "America First" foreign policy agenda.
