US Confirms Administrative Visa Revocations for Baja California Governor and Mexicali Mayor’s Husband

Mexican leaders say the administrative cancellations under INA Section 212 will not undermine cross-border security cooperation.

Overview

  • Customs and Border Protection revoked the visa of Luis Samuel Guerrero Delgado at the Calexico port on August 8 after a secondary inspection cited missing documentation under Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
  • Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda reported her visa was rescinded in May for similar administrative reasons and said she is pursuing its recovery while maintaining communication with US authorities.
  • US agencies have not released detailed evidence for the individual cases, leaving official filings and local reports as the primary sources for the administrative basis.
  • The incidents form part of a broader pattern in 2025 in which multiple Morena-affiliated officials and their relatives have faced visa cancellations or retentions.
  • Baja California authorities reiterate that none of the measures are criminal in nature and assert that coordination on security, economic and environmental issues with the United States will continue uninterrupted.
