Tourists in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, were advised to remain in their resorts on Sunday following a federal operation that triggered clashes and roadblocks in Jalisco and other states. Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro announced the operation in Tapalpa led to vehicles being burned and roads blocked in attempts to hinder authorities. The U.S. State Department issued a travel warning for parts of Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero, and Nuevo Leon, urging U.S. citizens to shelter in place due to ongoing security operations and criminal activity. The government enacted a "Code Red" and recommended residents stay home as the violence spread. While officials haven't confirmed details, local news suggests the operation may involve the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
