Analyst Assessment
Tijuana remains one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico. The Chapitos faction of CDS controls most trafficking but faces constant pressure from CJNG cells. Violence is largely inter-cartel but spillover risk to bystanders is significant. Mexicali relatively calmer but not immune.
Travel Guidance
Reconsider travel to Tijuana. If travel is essential, use vetted security providers, avoid nightlife districts, and maintain low profile. Do not drive across border—use pedestrian crossing and arrange secure transport.
