Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco and governors Alfonso Durazo and Américo Villarreal rejected claims in a Los Angeles Times report about alleged US visa revocations.
Mexico's Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco stated on Thursday, June 4, that the government has received no official or unofficial communication from the United States regarding possible visa revocations for the governors. Américo Villarreal, governor of Tamaulipas, displayed his valid visa during a press conference and said he has never received notice of cancellation. He categorically denied any link to fuel smuggling known as huachicol. Alfonso Durazo, governor of Sonora, rejected the need to prove his visa's validity and called on US authorities to clarify any investigation. Both belong to the Morena party.
