January 1, Government Warns Americans of “Kidnapping Risk”
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1945: Vietnam conflict begins as Ho Chi Minh leads a successful coup.
Americans planning a trip to Mexico may want to reconsider.
The U.S. Department of State issued a travel advisory warning U.S. citizens that some areas of Mexico “have increased risk of crime and kidnapping.”
According to the State Department: “Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted. In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.”
“U.S. citizens are advised to adhere to restrictions on U.S. government employee travel. State-specific restrictions are included in the individual state advisories below. U.S. government employees may not travel between cities after dark, may not hail taxis on the street, and must rely on dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. U.S. government employees should avoid traveling alone, especially in remote areas.”
The State Department included specific warnings for each state in Mexico. Six states were designated as “Do Not Travel”: Colima, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Guerrero, and Zacatecas “due to crime and kidnapping.”
Officials advise U.S. citizens to reconsider traveling to another seven states for the same reasons: Baja California, Chihuahua, Durango, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, and Sonora.
Last weekend, the State Department issued a shelter-in-place advisory across five cities in Baja California due to gang activity.
“Transnational criminal organizations compete in the border area to establish narco-trafficking and human smuggling routes,” the department said. “Most homicides appeared to be targeted; however, criminal organization assassinations and territorial disputes can result in bystanders being injured or killed.”

I can remember when enemies of the U.S. were the only ones to be worried about. Now that we have a leftist government, our allies pose almost as much kidnapping risk as own borders. Has trudy’s (trudeau) government begun welcoming kidnappers as much as biden’s yet?

anywhere demoncrats rule is dangerous. they do not represent the people. they represent the felons, abortionists, witches, trial lawyers and union thugs. when a deranged leftist blows up a church in demoncrat areas they get a medal. (it is the same with crisis pregnancy centers).

THEY WALK AMONG US…….Border jumpers just waiting for the perfect victim…….We know who opened the gates for these fanatics to invade and how they love to cause chaos……..Calif. does nothing to those illegals that rape their girl friends babies , and then try to escape………they just put them in prison till those DEM/RINO’s turn them loose & put them back on the streets to cause more rapes to occur.

Yes, there are dangerous places in Mexico but Mexico is a huge country with many beautiful and safe cities. There are places I wouldn’t venture to in the U.S. because it is dangerous but I wouldn’t condemn the whole country.
