WARNING EMERGENCY MESSAGE FOR U.S. CITIZENS:


EMERGENCY MESSAGE FOR U.S. CITIZENS: MASS PROTESTS AND POINTS OF ENTRY
BLOCKADES EXPECTED FROM TIJUANA TO MATAMOROS ON DECEMBER 8, 2014

This message is to inform U.S. citizens of significantly delayed
crossing times and of the potential closure of many of the points of
entry (POEs) between the United States and Mexico due to multiple
protests on Monday December 8^th , 2014, starting at 10:00 AM.

The protests concern changes in Mexican customs regulations for the
importation of vehicles. While protestors are only looking to block POEs
with heavy commercial traffic, there is a possibility that other POEs
into the U.S. could also be affected. At this time, there is no
information that leads us to believe that these protests would be
violent. However, demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn
confrontational and escalate into violence at any time. U.S. citizens
are urged to avoid areas of demonstrations, and to exercise caution if
in the vicinity of any protests.

U.S. Citizens are strongly encouraged to monitor local news outlets for
information about possible protests and POE closures in their area. In
the past, similar protests have paralyzed bridge traffic between Eastern
Texas and the Mexican State of Tamaulipas. Points of entry that have
remained open have experienced long delays.

Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings,
including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates and
any news of other protest activity throughout the country of Mexico.
Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance
your personal security.

We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling or residing abroad
enroll in the Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
(STEP) <https://step.state.gov/step>. STEP enrollment allows you to
receive the Department's safety and security updates, and makes it
easier for the nearest U.S. embassy or U.S. consulate to contact you in
an emergency. If you do not have Internet access, enroll directly with
the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

Regularly monitor the State Department's website
<http://travel.state.gov/> where you can find current Travel Warnings,
Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution, and read the Country Specific
Information
<http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/country/russia.html>for
your destination countries. For additional information, refer to the
"Traveler's Checklist"
<http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/go.html>on the State
Department's website
<http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english.html>. Current
information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling
1-888-407-4747 toll-free from within the United States and Canada, or
1-202-501-4444 from other countries. These numbers are available from
8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S.
federal holidays). Follow us on Twitter
