U.S. Embassy Issues Shelter-in-Place Alert Covering Nine Mexican States

The advisory follows violent reprisals after a Jalisco raid that killed CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes.

Overview

  • The alert instructs U.S. citizens to remain sheltered due to ongoing security operations, road blockades and criminal activity in designated areas.
  • Coverage includes all of Jalisco, Baja California and Quintana Roo, plus regions of Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
  • Consular staff in Tijuana, Guerrero, Michoacán and Quintana Roo were told to stay inside facilities, with Monterrey personnel restricted to the metro area.
  • Roadblocks disrupted travel as some flights were canceled in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, airports stayed open, taxis halted in Puerto Vallarta and some businesses paused operations.
  • Guidance urges limiting movement until further notice, avoiding security operations and crowds, monitoring local media, informing family, using consular emergency contacts and enrolling in STEP.
