Three women have been missing in Mexico for over two weeks after crossing the border from Texas.
‘Level 4: Do Not Travel’ advisories are in effect for some Mexican states where the risk of danger is highest.
However, Spring Break hotspots such as Cancun is a less severe Level 2 advisory.
“Drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said.
“We have a duty to inform the public about safety, travel risks and threats.”
There are also seven states under the “Level 3: Reconsider Travel” advisory which includes popular Baja California.
