Son of Mexico’s former president AMLO alleges US revoked his visa

Andres Manuel Lopez Beltran, son of former Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has alleged that the United States has revoked his visa. He made this accusation in a public letter addressed to US President Donald Trump, claiming the action was politically motivated and ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his deputy, Christopher Landau. Lopez Beltran stated he has no evidence of any wrongdoing against him. The US State Department has not confirmed the revocation or responded publicly. This alleged visa cancellation occurs amid a US crackdown on Mexican politicians suspected of ties to drug cartels. Lopez Beltran is a prominent politician who recently led the Morena party, founded by his father.

Son of former Mexican President López Obrador says US revoked his visa and appeals directly to Trump

Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced that the United States revoked his visa. He appealed directly to U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming he has no evidence of wrongdoing. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the decision as political and requested evidence from the U.S. government. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico declined to comment on the specific case, citing visa record confidentiality. This action follows a U.S. federal case against several Mexican officials for alleged drug trafficking links. López Beltrán, formerly an aide to his father and now Morena's secretary of organization, stated that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Under Secretary Christopher Landau ordered the withdrawal of his entry permission.
