The State Department warned Americans to avoid a city in Mexico just over the border from Texas<\/a> after receiving reports of “violent criminal activity.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico<\/a> said U.S. government employees have been ordered to\u00a0stay away from\u00a0the area of Reynosa, a city of about 700,000 residents located near McAllen, Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“U.S. Consulate Matamoros has received reports of violent criminal activity including roadblocks in Reynosa,” it said in the advisory, urging any Americans there to “be aware of your surroundings,” maintain “a high level of vigilance” and to “keep a low profile.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge links Reynosa to Texas. The State Department has issued a “Level 2 – Exercise increased caution” for all of Mexico, but in Tamaulipas state \u2013 where Reynosa is located \u2013 that risk is elevated to “Level: 4 – Do not travel,” due to “terrorism, crime and kidnapping.”<\/p>\n

“There is a risk of violence in the state from terrorist groups<\/a>, cartels, gangs and criminal organizations,” the State Department said.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Organized crime activity is common along the northern border and in Ciudad Victoria. It includes gun battles, murder, armed robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, forced disappearances, extortion, and sexual assault,” it added.<\/p>\n

The State Department advisory noted that U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents “have been victims of kidnapping.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Heavily armed members of criminal groups often patrol the state, especially along the border region from Reynosa to Nuevo Laredo,” it also warned. “They act without fear of punishment in these areas, and local law enforcement has limited capacity to respond to crime.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
