SECURITY ALERT: MEXICAN GENERAL ELECTIONS

MAY 30, 2024

Past demonstrations have turned violent. U.S. citizens should avoid participating in demonstrations that may be deemed political by authorities, as Mexican law prohibits political activities by foreign citizens, and participation may result in detention or deportation. A strong military and police presence is expected.

Actions to Take:

Demonstrations can be unpredictable; avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.
Monitor local media for updates.
Follow the instructions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911.
