Claudia Sheinbaum says "there was an alert about the possibility of a criminal group" in Mexicali

The U.S. administration issued a warning to its citizens about visiting Mexicali and halted routine operations at its consulate there, citing an unspecified possible danger. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded that the notice came from American intelligence indicating a possible armed organization, but said no further specifics were available and called for vigilance in the border city. Local officials reported no confirmed or immediate hazard, and police patrols were increased as a precaution; the city stayed calm. Baja California’s governor also pledged stronger security measures. Mexicali, home to over a million people, has close ties to Calexico, California, making the alert significant for cross-border travel.
