Last Monday, April 18, the US Embassy in Mexico issued a new restraining measure for US government employees.
In addition, the same document states that although air travel may be carried out, travel by land cannot be made.
This, the embassy explains, because Zacatecas has “experienced violent territorial battles between cartels.” Added to this is the homicide rate, since, according to the data recovered by the institution in 2021, it was more than double compared to the rate in 2020.
At the same time, it is noted that Americans and their peers lawful permanent residents have been victims of kidnapping.
The actions recommended by the US government are:
-Be careful with the environment
-Monitor local media for updates on the entity's situation
-In case of emergency call 911
-Violence in Zacatecas
According to the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU), both in the city of Zacatecas and in Fresnillo, the perception of insecurity among both inhabitants regions thus grew from 2021 to 2022 from 96.8% of people who considered Fresnillo unsafe, now it is 97.1%; for its part, from 89.4% of Zacatecanos who considered the city unsafe, increased to 91.7%.
In part, the figures are derived from the violent events that have taken place in the entity in recent months, Fresnillo leads in cases of violence in the state.
On March 31, Zacatecan police officers went into work stoppage for the second time, the reasons, as they said, were because the conditions in which they work and dangers to those in the entity have already exceeded what is tolerable.
That same day, the authorities reported the escape of two prisoners from the Social Reintegration Center (Cereso) in Fresnillo. Both prisoners were deprived of their liberty for domestic violence and homicide respectively.
Days later, on April 3, five people were killed in two simultaneous events in the same city. It should be noted that according to official information, one occurred in the Barrio Alto neighborhood and the other in Francisco Villa.
It was in this last colony that, on September 2nd Street and one block from the temple of St. Francis of Assisi, a group of armed men forcibly broke into a home and shot dead four people, three men and one woman.
In more recent events, just last April 12, six bodies with signs of torture were found in Pinos, a town in Zacatecas near the state of San Luis Potosí.
Afterwards, on April 13, Fresnillo experienced one of his most violent days: three people were killed and nine injured were killed, who were shot and moved along a stretch of the road.
According to the authorities' report, it was concluded with identification of the 12 victims. Among those who were injured, an adult and a minor, both in serious health condition. On the other hand, two adults were discharged and the others remained hospitalized. In total, five adults and four minors were injured.
