  • Carolyn Adams, wife of José Ramón López Beltrán, shared family photos from Disneyland amid controversy over her brother-in-law's visa.
  • Adams stated that she wants her children to define themselves by their actions and not by others' opinions, emphasizing freedom and honesty.
  • The publication of the photos follows the U.S. State Department's revocation of Andrés Manuel López Beltrán's visa, a move his family called politically motivated.

Carolyn Adams, wife of José Ramón López Beltrán, posted family photos from Disneyland, including pictures with her children, amid controversy surrounding her brother-in-law's visa.

Today they are growing up in a world where many people believe they know someone's life by just seeing a photograph, a video, or a headline. A world where they judge before asking, point before knowing, and criticize before understanding.

— Carolyn AdamsAdams's Instagram post explaining her perspective on public judgment.

Adams used her Instagram account to share a video of the family enjoying theme parks and attractions. She wrote about living in a world where people judge others based on limited information. "I can't stop that from existing. What I can do is teach them to never let others' opinions define who they are or how far they can go. I want them to always feel free," she stated.

She further elaborated on the importance of freedom to study, explore the world, and pursue goals with values, defending truth, and "never being ashamed of a life built with work, love, and honesty." Adams concluded, "No one has the power to define who you are, except yourselves and God. Let your actions speak louder than any lie, let your peace be worth more than any judgment. I love you too much."

I can't stop that from existing. What I can do is teach them to never let others' opinions define who they are or how far they can go. I want them to always feel free.

— Carolyn AdamsAdams's message to her children about self-determination.

The post comes after the U.S. State Department revoked the visa of Andrés Manuel López Beltrán. His family described the decision as "political, rather political and propagandistic, Hitler-style," asserting there was no justification for such an "arrogant procedure." Despite the visa revocation, López Beltrán stated that not being able to travel to the United States during these "decadent and regrettable times of hatred, racism, drug addiction, family disintegration, social discontent, and sadness" causes him no problems.

No one has the power to define who you are, except yourselves and God. Let your actions speak louder than any lie, let your peace be worth more than any judgment. I love you too much.

— Carolyn AdamsAdams's concluding remarks on self-worth and honesty.

This incident adds to previous controversies involving José Ramón López Beltrán and Carolyn Adams, including the "Casa Gris" in Houston, a goddaughter's birthday celebration in Culiacán, and attending a Formula 1 event, which contrasted with the former president's austerity discourse.

As is evident, this decision is political, rather political and propagandistic, Hitler-style, as there is no reason to justify such an arrogant procedure.
