"U.S. Embassy Issues Warning: Avoid Driving to Rocky Point Amid Border Closure"

The U.S. Consulate General is advising travelers to avoid driving to Rocky Point in Mexico while the Lukeville Port of Entry is closed due to a surge in migrant crossings. U.S. residents are urged to reconsider travel through Sonora, Mexico, due to the risk of kidnapping and other crimes. U.S. government employees are not allowed to travel to Rocky Point using any other route until the Lukeville port reopens. Travelers are advised to review the Mexico Travel Advisory, travel during daylight hours, monitor local media for updates, and maintain a high level of vigilance.
