Overview
- U.S. diplomatic sources confirmed the State Department canceled Márquez’s visa under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
- Márquez leads customs investigations at Mexico’s National Customs Agency (ANAM), a post that coordinates closely with U.S. counterparts on anti-smuggling work.
- Mexican reporting links him as legal representative to Aledo S.A. de C.V., which the SAT audited and sanctioned with a 109 million‑peso fiscal credit for operations lacking materiality in 2019.
- Journalistic accounts cite high‑value assets disclosed by Márquez, including luxury watches, while he insists the visa matter is administrative and does not affect his duties.
- Security experts are urging Mexico’s prosecutors to open a formal probe; authorities have not announced charges, and the revocation fits a broader 2025 U.S. review that Reuters says affected about 50 officials.
