The U.S. Consulate in a Mexican border city issued an alert about violence and warned American citizens not to travel there after two Americans were killed by criminals and two more were abducted.
After the reported kidnapping, the U.S. State Department issued an alert about violence in Matamoros and reminded U.S. citizens that this part of Mexico—and other parts—are under a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” warning. That’s the highest warning in the State Department’s travel advisory system.
