Marina del Pilar Ávila, the governor of Baja California, has announced that the United States has withdrawn tourist visas from both her and her husband, Carlos Torres.

Ávila, who represents the ruling Morena party, shared this information via social media on Sunday, though she did not provide details regarding the cause of the US government's decision.

The press office of Baja California confirmed the withdrawal of the governor's visa to various media outlets.

In response to the announcement, a spokesperson for the US Embassy stated that visa records are confidential, indicating that they cannot discuss specifics of individual cases.

Carlos Torres, who is both a politician and an active member of the Morena party, emphasized that the revocation of their visas should not be interpreted as an accusation or formal investigation by authorities in either Mexico or the United States.

In a statement on Facebook, he asserted that his 'conscience is clear' regarding the situation.

Baja California is notable for facilitating the highest volume of pedestrian crossings between Mexico and the United States, primarily through its border with California.

On the preceding Thursday, Governor Ávila engaged in discussions with US Consul General in Tijuana, Christopher Teal, focusing on bilateral topics including regional security, economic development, and human rights.
