The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for many parts of Mexico due to increasing rates of violent crime in the country, including kidnapping, homicide, robbery and carjacking. Under the new warning, U.S. government personnel are advised to defer “nonessential travel” to states affected, including Tamaulipas, Sinaloa, parts of Sonora, Jalisco, Morelos, Guerrero and Michoacan. No advisory is in effect for Mexico City Puebla, or Queretaro. For the full list of affected states and zones, check the State Department website. The Mexico Tourism Board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“While most of these homicides appeared to be targeted criminal organization assassinations, turf battles between criminal groups have resulted in violent crime in areas frequented by U.S. citizens,” the advisory reads. “Shooting incidents, in which innocent bystanders have been injured or killed, have occurred.” |
