Mexico has not confirmed an "imminent risk" to the population in Mexicali following a US alert about a threat from drug cartels.

Following a security alert issued by the United States Consulate General regarding cartel threats, the Mexican Security Cabinet reported on August 25 that authorities have not identified any elements confirming a specific or imminent risk to the population in Mexicali, Baja California. In response to the developments, local officials have moved to reinforce security surveillance in the area.

Despite the heightened measures and the international warning, the municipal leadership has actively urged residents to remain calm. The divergence between the U.S. advisory and the local assessment highlights ongoing coordination and communication challenges between neighboring nations regarding cross-border security threats and public safety assessments.
