Ávila, who denies having cooperated with U.S. authorities beyond the institutional channels as the head of a border state, has not yet regained permission to cross into the United States. She called it “a psychological ambush” meant to make her believe the United States had her in its sights and might even extradite her. That implies shared challenges with the United States, not only on security but on migration, the economy, social issues and the environment. If you got it back, would you go to the United States? If I ever recover my visa, of course I would go to the United States.
