The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala this week issued an alert warning American citizens to exercise caution while in the Latin American country, noting that it lifted an earlier security order for U.S. officials there.
“The U.S. Embassy has lifted the shelter-in-place order for its personnel. However, the situation remains tense, with armed attacks against the National Civil Police in multiple areas of Guatemala City,” it said in a Jan. 18 post on X.
