The U.S. State Department recently issued a travel warning to U.S. citizens, requiring them to avoid traveling to all or parts of 14 Mexican states (out of a total of 31 states in Mexico). This is the most extensive travel ban to Mexico issued by the United States since Mexico launched a crackdown on drug crimes in 2006. The U.S. State Department advises citizens to avoid traveling to states bordering the United States, such as Chihuahua, Cohulla, and Tamaulipas, as well as states such as Durango in central Mexico, unless for essential purposes. The U.S. State Department also advises U.S. citizens to be cautious when traveling to three other states that are close to the United States, as well as states in the central and western parts of the country where frequent crossfires between drug cartels occur. Among them, the beach area of ​​Nogalas, which is close to the state and a popular tourist hotspot for Albertans, commonly known as Rock Point, is particularly dangerous. The U.S. State Department said last week that U.S. citizens have become victims of drug-trafficking violence in Mexico, including murder, kidnapping and robberies. The warning advises U.S. citizens traveling to Mexico to use major roads and stay in hotels after the sun goes down. If people still want to go to the beach area, take a detour to Lukeville.
