US government issues travel warnings for citizens in Mexico amid widespread violence<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

The Mexican government killed<\/a> a cartel boss known as \u201cEl Mencho\u201d, sparking a wave of retaliatory violence in western Mexico and stranding travelers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The US government urged US citizens in widespread areas of Mexico to shelter in place, saying that US government staff in those areas were also doing so on Sunday and would continue on Monday.<\/p>\n

A travel alert<\/a> from the US embassy in Mexico noted that no airports had been closed, but that roadblocks had affected airline operations, that most flights out of the cities of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta were canceled, and that rideshares were suspended in Puerto Vallarta.<\/p>\n

The alert advised people to \u201cseek shelter\u201d and \u201cminimize unnecessary movements\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans should keep family and friends advised of your location & well-being,\u201d the travel alert said.<\/p>\n
