As violence spread across Mexico after the killing of drug kingpin Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, the U.S. State Department urged American citizens, including tourists stranded in parts of the country, to "seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels."
"Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice. Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic & int'l flights canceled in both Guadalajara & Puerto Vallarta. Taxis/ride shares are suspended in Puerto Vallarta. Seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels," the U.S. Embassy in Mexico said in a security alert.
