Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has claimed that the United States revoked his visa. He made the announcement in a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump, posted on Instagram, alleging that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Under Secretary Christopher Landau ordered the withdrawal of his permission to enter the U.S. without evidence of wrongdoing.
López Beltrán, who recently resigned from a leadership position in his father's Morena party as he prepares to run for Congress in 2027, described the action as politically motivated. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum echoed this sentiment, stating that such visa revocations for politically exposed persons are inherently political and urged the U.S. to provide evidence. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico declined to comment on the specific case, citing confidentiality laws.
