More than 50 Mexican politicians and officials have been stripped of their visas by the United States, including Andy López Beltrán, former national leader of Morena and son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

López Beltrán published a letter addressed to President Donald Trump, in which he describes this withdrawal as a "propaganda act." This action has generated controversies in the national political sphere.

Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government for Mexico City, stated that this measure is interventionist and that other countries do not face similar decisions. She accused certain sectors of the Mexican right of taking advantage of this situation.
