The U.S. Department of State has launched a review of more than 50 Mexican consulates operating across the United States, a move that could potentially lead to the closure of several diplomatic offices. A State Department official confirmed the review on Thursday, highlighting the Biden administration’s focus on aligning foreign policy decisions with America’s national interests.
Dylan Johnson, assistant secretary of state for global public affairs, stated that the department routinely evaluates diplomatic operations to ensure they support the administration’s “America First” agenda and broader U.S. foreign policy goals. The review was first reported by CBS News and has already sparked concern over future U.S.-Mexico diplomatic relations.
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry has not yet issued an official response regarding the review. The development comes during a period of heightened tensions between Washington and Mexico City, particularly following disputes over immigration policies, border security, and the treatment of Mexican nationals living in the United States.
Mexico maintains one of the largest foreign consular networks in the U.S. due to the significant Mexican-American population. According to Pew Research Center data, at least 37 million people of Mexican origin were living in the United States in 2021. Mexican consulates provide critical services such as passport renewals, legal assistance, and support for immigrants facing deportation or other legal challenges.
Relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have remained strained since Trump returned to the White House last year. Diplomatic tensions intensified after two CIA officers were killed in a car accident last month, while Sheinbaum has openly criticized anti-immigration operations that resulted in the deaths of several Mexican citizens in the U.S.
The review of Mexican consulates could become another flashpoint in the increasingly complex relationship between the neighboring countries.
