Oct. 30, the U.S. Mission to Mexico lifted a shelter-in-place order for government employees in Matamoros after law enforcement activity in the border city subsided.
Two arrests in Matamoros had triggered roadblocks across Tamaulipas, with Mexican authorities identifying one suspect as Axel Alfredo "N," the alleged No. 2 of the Gulf Cartel's Los Ciclones faction.
Mexico deployed 450 personnel and two helicopters to Matamoros and nearby municipalities to reinforce security, surveillance and response capacity.
Level 4 travel guidance remains in place for Tamaulipas due to terrorism, crime and kidnapping, and U.S. officials told Americans in Matamoros to monitor local media and alert family to their safety.
The warning echoes an August U.S. security alert that temporarily halted government activity and travel to Mexicali over a possible armed attack tied to Los Rusos.
