Day 724 — Tabasco Tour Stop: Sheinbaum Touts Crime-Rate Drop, Declines Meeting With Andy López Beltrán Amid His US Visa Revocation

Sheinbaum held her September 25, 2026 mañanera from Villahermosa, Tabasco, where Governor Javier May Rodríguez thanked her for the visit and highlighted scholarships, social programs and cacao-producer support. SESNSP executive secretary Marcela Figueroa Franco presented state security data showing Tabasco's daily average of high-impact crimes fell 18% (from 12.6 to 10.3) and homicidios dolosos dropped 54% since the administration's national security strategy took effect, with vehicle theft down 51% versus November 2024. Asked about Andrés Manuel López Beltrán — the former president's son, whose U.S. visa the State Department revoked in August, prompting a letter from López Beltrán accusing Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Christopher Landau of acting "like gang bosses" — Sheinbaum called the revocation "a political matter, it has nothing to do with anything else," said any accusations against Mexican citizens should come with evidence presented to Mexican authorities, and ruled out meeting him during the Tabasco visit while saying his territorial work ahead of a 2027 federal deputy run looks "very well" to her.
