| US Embassy Warns Americans To Avoid Tijuana Amid Cartel War Threats |
| 2022-07-09 |
| [ZERO] Americans might want to reconsider their travel plans to Mexico's Baja California peninsula after the U.S. Embassy issued a startling new travel warning about cartel clashes with government security forces and elevated risk of kidnappings and possibly even death. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City issued the notice on July 4, warning Americans about traveling to Tijuana and Rosarito, Baja California, following the arrest "of a prominent cartel leader" and the rising probabilities "for confrontations between criminal organizations and Mexican security forces." "U.S. citizens should expect to encounter increased Mexican law enforcement presence in those areas. Criminal organization assassinations and territorial disputes can result in bystanders being injured or killed," the travel advisory stated. The Department of State's Travel Advisory for Baja California has been raised to Level 3, indicating that U.S. tourists are at risk of being injured, killed, or even kidnapped. |

| #1 If you need a Foggy Bottom travel advisory to warn you against travel to Mexico, you may have other problems and decision processes that need looking after. |
