The United States authorities issued a security alert that urged their citizens to take precautions when traveling to the Mexicali Valley, due to the violent clashes between drug cartels in Tijuana.
“Travelers should exercise extra caution when traveling in and around Mexicali, the Mexicali Valley, and the western part of the state of Sonora due to the potential for increased violence between rival cartel factions. Members of the embassy community have been warned to avoid the Mexicali area until further notice,” the US embassy said.
The area is in dispute by forces of the Sinaloa . . .
