Governors of Tamaulipas and Sonora said that U.S. visas have not been cancelled despite contrary reports from several media outlets.
The dispute creates significant uncertainty for thousands of residents in these border states who rely on valid travel documents for commerce and family visits. Conflicting information regarding the legal status of these visas can disrupt cross-border movement and economic activity.
According to a report from Milenio, the governors of Tamaulipas and Sonora deny any cancellation of visas. Their statements contradict reports from other media outlets, including MSN, which state that the visas are no longer valid.
There has been no official notice from federal authorities confirming either position. The discrepancy has led to confusion among travelers in the region, specifically those moving between Mexico and the U.S. border.
Local officials have not provided specific details on the origin of the reports that suggested a mass cancellation. The governors said that current travel documents remain in effect, while the media outlets reporting the invalidity have not cited a specific government directive to support their claims.
“Governors of Tamaulipas and Sonora deny any cancellation of visas.”
The contradiction between regional political leaders and media reporting indicates a communication gap regarding border policy. Without a formal statement from the U.S. Department of State or the Mexican government, the validity of these visas remains a matter of conflicting reports, which may lead to increased congestion or confusion at border checkpoints.
