I didn't know there were still people in Mexico. I thought they all crossed our border after Brandon was elected?

My BIL is a federal ICE agent. He absolutely says stay away, he said its a matter of time and you don't want to be there when that time happens. He would have gone himself in the past but he said Intel they are getting isn't good. Travel at your own risk but yall are all grown ups.

I’ve been advised similar by a family friend. Basically he said stay away from the border at all costs. Flying into tourist destinations and cruises are still considered low risk.

These Mexico posts are always the same. The State Dept put out a travel advisory about the danger increasing and warning people not to travel. Then people posts how inaccurate the warning is because they have traveled there and nothing bad has ever happened then the more humorous statements on how it is safer than the lakes in the US.
I always think, I had never had an accident until I did. I had never gotten a ticket until I did. Because you have gone before without incident will never mean that if you keep pushing your luck, nothing will ever happen. I have never seen the DPS patrol American lakes with a gun boat with M60 machine guns mounted except on the border. Until they no longer need to patrol to protect against the cartel, I won't gamble with my life to go there just to fish

When was the last time someone got kilt at the fishing lodges?

There are a couple of guys from S Texas that can personally tell you about a kidnapping (them) that took place at a cafe after fishing Sugar Lake also. I don't remember the year but it must have been 2010 or so. I got nervous fishing the Mexico side of Falcon or Amistad after that.
