Mexico - February 25, 2026
Security Recommendations
Effective February 25, 2026
International Operations recommends against unnecessary travel to Mexico (with the exception of Mexico City) due to an unstable security environment stemming from criminal activity. Criminal organizations have recently engaged in attacks against security forces and blocked roads in several states, including near major tourist destinations such as Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, and elsewhere, in retaliation for the killing of a major drug cartel leader by Mexican security forces on February 22.
Travel to Mexico City can continue as planned. If you have any questions or are planning travel to any other location in Mexico, please contact International Operations.
