December 8, 2016
The State Department warned U.S. citizens Thursday about the risks of travel in Mexico in light of organized crime activity in certain parts of the country, citing homicides, kidnappings, carjackings and robberies in several Mexican states.
The updated travel warning said the risk of violence was less in resort areas and tourist destinations than in border areas or along trafficking routes.
