The United States government has revoked the visas of at least 50 Morena politicians and other Mexican officials as part of the Donald Trump administration's offensive against drug cartels and their alleged political allies.
This was confirmed by two US officials to the Reuters news agency, while three former US ambassadors said that previous administrations had likewise revoked visas, but not to the same extent as Trump, who uses this diplomatic tool for political purposes.
According to Reuters, prominent Mexican politicians have confirmed that 50 Morena politicians had their visas revoked, as had dozens of officials from other political parties.
Earl Anthony Wayne, US ambassador to Mexico from 2011 to 2015, pointed to pressure from the Republican president.

"The Trump administration," he said, "is finding new ways to exert more pressure on Mexico."
Yesterday, President Claudia Sheinbaum was questioned on the issue and asserted that her government has not received official information about the revocation of visas for Mexican officials and politicians.
"No, and no, because the United States government has been very clear about this, stating that it is private personal information," the President stated during her morning press conference.
U.S. authorities, she explained, only notify those directly involved.
"The person whose visa may have been revoked is the one who knows," she explained.
"But it is not information they share with the Mexican government, given that it is personal information, unless there is an investigation that already has to do with public safety."

All these government officials have ties to the Cartels. They own houses, land, and have money hidden in the United States. All this money coming from illegal drug activities. Not only should their visas be canceled, but all their assets should be ceased. Before a foreigner buys an expensive item, you should show proof of income.
Drug cartel enablers.
Mexican politicians, stay home for the winter. Go to Europe. Go to South America.
So trumpis in bed with the PRI and PAN???only targeting Morena?
Great job ICE!
Let's revoke immigration privileges for B. Netanyahu, the war criminal. How
about Putin? No more Alaska trips.
Yes but Morena was in bed with the cartels. Remember the words of the communist idiot Andrés Manuel López Obrador. " Abrazos no balasos! " How did that wok out ?
Totally agree!
B. Netanyahu war criminal? You must be brainless. What about Hamas who started the war and who has killed millions around the world by their terrorists attacks? But then again communists like terrorists.
