Security Alert – Update 7: Ongoing Security Operations – U.S. Mission Mexico (February 24, 2026)

Location: Mexico

Event:

All restrictions related to the events of February 22 on U.S. government staff in Tijuana (Baja California) and Monterrey (Nuevo Leon) have been lifted.

U.S. government staff in Guadalajara (Jalisco), Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco/Nayarit), and Ciudad Guzman (Jalisco) are subject to a curfew during nighttime hours and cannot travel outside their metropolitan areas.

FLIGHTS

Flight schedules have returned to normal in Guadalajara and many airlines have extra flights planned for today, February 24, in Puerto Vallarta.  Both airports are secure and amenities are available.

If your direct flight to the United States is cancelled, you might consider booking a connecting flight through another Mexican or U.S. city.

ROADS

We have no reports of road closures directed by local authorities, though some roads in Jalisco State (including between Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta) are not yet fully reopened.

Actions to Take:

• Check with your airline to confirm your flight status and schedule.
• If you need to rebook your flight, do so before arriving at the airport or anticipate long lines and allow extra time.
• Monitor local media for updates.
• Follow the directions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911.
• Keep family and friends advised of your location and well-being via phone, text, and social media.
