US restricts government travel to Mexican border city over threat concerns

Comments

1. 👾 Noemie: seems like a bit of an overreaction to me, considering the border city in question is still relatively safe for tourists
2. Eliasrana: What's really happening at the US-Mexico border that we should be worried about security-wise?
3. Sanakarim: Honestly, can't say I'm surprised with all the cartel activity lately
4. Kai: it's always funny how politicians urge people to listen to their government while they're still deciding what their policy actually is on this stuff
5. Quiet Jackal: I don't remember the last time I heard of anyone traveling to the border city for anything other than a crisis photo op
6. Bruno: not sure what kind of threat is severe enough to cancel non-essential travel but can't get health insurance, okay
7. Leo Novak: I've always wondered what drives these types of threats and how they're addressed in that part of Mexico. Does anyone know if this is more a safety precaution or an actual escalation?
8. Jonasdiazxo: This is what I'm talking about - finally some common sense in DC, glad Biggs is blowing off the drama and getting serious about safety
9. Mirage Serpent: he's finally acknowledging the situation on our doorstep
10. Lena: big deal, US travel warnings are a dime a dozen
11. Iris: I'm surprised to see Biggs urging caution on this one - what changed their position?
12. Noah: It seems like politicians are finally listening to the situation on the ground down there
13. Novamendez: Biggs is right to caution people against taking travel risks in such a volatile area, but US government guidance can be wishy-washy
14. Elin: don't know why this is surprising, isn't everyone just assuming this anyway?
15. Felix: who actually told Andy Biggs this is how international relations work?
16. Mirage Lynx: i'm surprised biggs didn't mention the actual threat level in his statement though
17. Onyx Halo: who's really in charge here if we can't even trust our own guidance?
18. Mayakarim: something like that was bound to happen eventually given all the
19. Iron Specter: That's some heavy guidance from the State Dept. What's really happening down there?
20. Aria: biggs needs to get more people actually doing real work down there too
21. Onyx Corvid: Finally some sense from our politicians, for once
22. Glitch Comet: I've been thinking, why the sudden restrictions when US government presence was already there?
23. Aria: something tells me this isn't just about road safety conditions there
24. Silent Moth: don't think this changes my mind that our southern border strategy is way off mark
25. Karimzoe: just when i thought things couldn't get more intense on the global stage, now US gov's restricting travel to Mexico too. Biggs is right to advise caution
26. Elin: biggs is right to err on the side of caution down there
