Mexicali Reinforces Security and Suspends Court Activity After U.S. Threat Alert

Authorities in Mexicali reinforced security patrols and suspended activity at state judicial facilities after the U.S. consulate warned of a potential threat in the Baja California border city. The U.S. Embassy suspended official travel to Mexicali and public consular services there, while advising Americans to avoid the area around the civic center. Baja California officials said they had received no information confirming a specific threat but increased patrols as a precaution. State court officials suspended activity at Mexicali facilities, with other reporting saying operations would resume once authorities determined conditions were safe.
