Authorities in Texas warned US citizens to not travel to Mexico during the spring break, due to high levels of criminal activity, and after the recent cases of deadly kidnapping of Americans in the country.
Steven McCraw, the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), said in a statement that drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represented a "significant safety threat" to anyone who crosses into Mexico right now.
The US State Department has issued a 'Do Not Travel' advisory warning for six Mexican states, including Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas state.
