The U.S. Department of State on Thursday warned Americans not to travel to Sinaloa state, Mexico, following reports of widespread cartel violence after Ovidio Guzman Lopez, son of Mexican drug kingpin “El Chapo,” was arrested.

State Department spokesperson Ned Price, in a press conference, advised Americans not to go to Sinaloa, home to the Sinaloan drug cartel. Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was arrested and extradited to the United States several years ago, and he’s now incarcerated in a maximum security federal prison in Colorado.
