United States restricts trips in Sinaloa and Sonora

Mexico, D.F. – The U.S. Consulate in Hermosillo, Sonora, announced new travel restrictions for U.S. employees in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa.

In a message released by the consulate, all travel by U.S. employees on the Benito Juarez Highway from Don Station (near Huatabampo & Navojoa) to Guamuchil, Sinaloa, is prohibited due to threats and extreme violence.
