Analyst Assessment
Long-standing conflict zone with no resolution in sight. Gulf Cartel factions, CDN (Zetas remnants), and CDS all compete for border crossing control. Government presence minimal outside cities. Every border city is dangerous. Victoria (state capital) somewhat better but not safe.
Travel Guidance
Do not travel under any circumstances. If border crossing is essential for business, cross at Laredo (Nuevo León side) not Tamaulipas. No highway travel. Flying into Tampico only option and requires immediate secure transport.
