'DO NOT TRAVEL' Mexico danger map updated as US warns of ‘widespread’ crime amid rise in murders, kidnappings, carjackings and robberies

It is just crazy that Mexico has become so violent. Twenty years ago it was not unusual for people to visit Acapulco, Cozumel or even a few of the border cities for the day. Anyone visiting there now must have a death wish.

Map in the article mis-identifies Tamaulipas (1) as Nuevo Leon (10). Frankly, I'd consider Nuevo Leon as a 'no-go' zone also.

Seems the entire border area with Texas is a no go zone.

Rather than embed the video here, because Joe Rogan doesn’t police his language, I’ll just place a link: https://youtu.be/llhb2ymtsw8. In this video, Rogan podcast interviews a former Mexican LEO about the realities on the ground for Mexican law enforcement, Mexican gov’t, and the Mexican people. It’s pretty eye opening, and one of the more interesting video podcasts Rogan has done.

TAM,
Thanks for posting this link. I just finished watching the podcast, & it was extremely educational. It's a shame this grounded perspective isn't more widely discussed.

Lara Logan from Fox News stopped by the police while investigating sex trafficking in Mexico.

Seems a very dangerous thing to do what with Mexico being gun free.

Police Chief murdered.

Dangerous job in Mexico, right up there with journalist.

I assume all police chiefs work for one cartel and the competing one does the hit?
