Overview
- Citing a state communiqué, the Gobierno de Puebla and Governor Alejandro Armenta said on Sunday that neither has received any official notification that his U.S. visa was revoked.
- Armenta posted on his official account that his documents are in order and that he remains focused on governing the state.
- The rumor that the visa was canceled spread on social media, including a post by Simón Levy, but those claims have not been supported by public records or U.S. confirmation.
- Some reporting cited an unnamed source saying Armenta’s visa remains valid and that a U.S. trip was planned, creating competing accounts while U.S. authorities have stayed silent.
- The episode comes against a backdrop of several recent visa cancellations involving Mexican officials, a context that has heightened political sensitivity and prompted Puebla to stress its continued outreach to migrants.
