In January 2005, the US Department of State has issued a travel advisory advising US citizens to avoid travel along the US Mexican border because of increased violence, including the kidnapping of US citizens, in border communities. Most of the violence has been linked to the drug cartels, who are increasingly powerful in Mexico.
