Mexican woman returns her US visa in protest at Trump
By Juan Paullier
BBC Mundo, Mexico City
1 hour ago
Alma Siller Contreras is a 59-year old Mexican woman who lives in Hermosillo, a town two-and-a-half hours south of the US border.
For as long as she can remember she has had a tourist visa for the US, a document Mexicans require if they want to visit their northern neighbours.
Ms Siller used her visa regularly to go on shopping trips and on weekend visits to see family living in Arizona, Las Vegas and New York.
However, last Monday, she went to the US consulate in her hometown to hand the document back.
