The U.S. Consulate General in Nogales, Sonora, issued a security alert on September 5, 2026, restricting the activities of its personnel in the border town due to 'information about threats.' The alert advises American citizens to reconsider travel to Nogales and limits consulate operations to essential tasks during daylight hours. The U.S. Department of State maintains a Level 3 Travel Advisory for Sonora, urging travelers to reconsider visits. However, authorities in Sonora stated they have not received specific information confirming any concrete threat to civilians. Despite this, local security agencies confirmed they will maintain surveillance and preventive operations in Nogales and across the state, promising to issue updates if new information arises.
