“The U.S. State Department has issued an updated warning for Americans traveling or living in Mexico after the recent arrest of seven alleged members of the Zeta-drug cartel. Though the alert does not specifically mention the name of the cartel, it does highlight concern about violence from transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). The warning issued on Tuesday states, ‘Given the history and resources of this violent TCO, the U.S Embassy urges U.S citizens to maintain a low profile and a heightened sense of awareness.’ The warning is specific to Tamaulipas, off the tip of southern Texas, where the Zeta-cartel is based.”
