Violent cartel members have threatened US tourists in Mexico in an effort to send a warning to FBI Director Kash Patel as the administration continues to crack down on drug and weapons trades.
Extraordinary banners have been erected in Baja California responding to recent raids and weapons seizures conducted by the FBI.
The messages claim that starting Sunday, cartel gunmen from the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa cartel will begin targeting US citizens who are in Mexico with violence.
In particular, tourists and Americans living in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose have been warned they will be targeted.
Written in Spanish, the warnings state: 'You will be the ones to blame. We'll show how we'll make this war starting 5/10/2025 on all Americans residing in areas where we have a presence… especially those living in San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
'We are the ones who rule here and we'll demonstrate what we are capable of if you don't stop arresting our people and decommissioning our loads and weapons.'
Cartels are known to hang 'narco banners' from bridges and overpasses in an effort to deliver a message to governments or their rivals.
But Christian Agúndez Gómez, mayor of San Jose del Cabo maintained there is no credible proof of the existence of the banners.

Is it time for cruise missiles into Mexico?
US tourists in Mexico
Why?
Sounds like a declaration of war.
Any American in Mexico right now is stupid.
The cartels and drug gangs would be the targets.
Weapons seizures? FBI?
Doesn’t the FBI operate in the United States?
Why are cartels in Baja bent out of shape about something going on in the United States and not in Mexico?
Mexicans in the USA send more than $63 BILLION DOLLARS a year back to Mexico.
Just stop Mexicans in America from sending money to Mexico until the Mexican government gets control of their own country.
Better yet - just shut down all transfers of money by individuals to every other country FOREVER!!!
Maybe they are not classic lookie-loo tourists. Maybe only there to get high, on drugs, alcohol, and weed. Then there is sex tourism.
No overriding reason to go to Mexico. Maybe the mex. Govt. will realize that decent tourist dollars help more people than cartel dollars. Not holding my breath.
Hey Mexico take care of this , Oh wait ,LOL
> Violent cartel members have threatened US tourists in Mexico… <
Here’s an idea. Do not vacation in Mexico. There are plenty of nice places in the US to visit. Sandy beaches, mountain trails, etc.
Sure, it might be a be a bit more expensive. But, hey. What’s a safe and peaceful vacation worth?
🇺🇸
We have some well to do friends who go to Mexico...they are in their 70s...I think they have a timeshare there.
US tourists in Mexico Why?
What happens after that, I have no idea.
There are many Americans living in Mexico. Until the last decade or so Mexico has been an American retirement haven. The gangs have left the American residents alone in a deal with the government because of the money that comes to Mexico with those expatriates. That, I believe, is beginning to change as the cartels take more and more control of the government through bribes and intimidation.
My daughter has to travel to Mexico at times for her job. She is provided with a guard. LORD have mercy and protect her and other Americans who must travel there.
Any deaths of Americans by cartel thugs is the direct fault of the people financing them....American drug users. Kick them, in thanks.
The Cartel bosses think they own a slice of the USA now and that it will continue to increase. Biden insured that the Gangs, hell more and more they are guerrilla organizations, would get astrong foothold here. Now they think they own an expanding piece of us.
The Narcos or narco terrorists are true psychopaths and seems all CA Dems have been corrupted by them. Yup, seems like war unless demand for their product dried up,. That’d be the best scenario. Maybe they could go back to growing produce.
“Any American in Mexico right now is stupid.”
I completely agree.
My brother spent three weeks
in the Mediterranean recently.
The last part of the trip was
seven days in Italy.
They left a couple of days after the
P.m. said she’s not recognizing Palestine.
And riots went up everywhere.
I had to worry about him the whole time.
My husband is French (came through
Ellis Island when he was three).
He wants to visit France.
I’m like OK have a good time.
