The mayor of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, says the United States has revoked his visa to enter the country.
Juan Francisco Gim said in a video on social media that he “remains calm and with a clear conscience” — and that with time he will get a reason for why his visa was revoked.
“This isn’t a hunt or a scandal, it’s an administrative process,” Gim said.
