The Mexican consular network in the U.S.A. is the biggest in the world, consisting of 53 consulates on U.S. soil.
In a recent Mexico News Report article (Are There Too Many Mexican Consulates in the U.S.A. ?) I reported that the U.S. State Department is reviewing all 53 Mexican consulates, with the view of possibly shuttering some.
A recent article on the Mexico Daily Post reports that the U.S. is especially looking at 20 Mexican consulates: “The State Department’s review of the operations of 53 Mexican consulates located in the United States has begun, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is particularly focused on 20 consulates in Mexico where consuls or vice-consuls have been identified as active members of the Morena party who have used diplomatic spaces to organize and conduct political and partisan activities in the United States.”
“According to U.S. sources, violations of diplomatic treaties allegedly committed by several Mexican Foreign Service officials since the previous presidential term are being documented, and a report will be presented soon that could lead the Trump administration to order the closure of several Mexican consulates for engaging in political campaigning within U.S. territory. Most of the violations involve partisan acts and meetings of Morena Exterior, which, despite being a political organization, had access to the consular network to conduct political work with Mexican migrant communities.”
