U.S. Government Restricts Travel to Nogales, Mexico, Due to Unspecified Threat
The U.S. Consulate General in Nogales issued a warning restricting government activities and travel to the Mexican border city of Nogales, Sonora. Due to threat information, travel is now limited to essential movement during daylight hours only. While the specific threat was not identified, the U.S. Travel Advisory designates Sonora as a Level 3 "Reconsider Travel" area. Travelers are urged to exercise increased caution, remain aware of their surroundings, and seek shelter in the event of a security incident. Sonora's State Security Board contacted U.S. consular officials after the alert was issued, noting that while they have no information establishing a concrete risk to the public, they will continue preventive security operations in the area.
