The United States Department of State has issued shelter-in-place warnings for U.S. citizens in a number of destinations across Mexico. The alert was issued on Feb. 22 following a clash between the Mexican military and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

PUERTO VALLARTA: February 22, 2026, Mexican forces killed Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader "El Mencho" in a military operation, triggering immediate widespread retaliation.

Posts on X (formerly Twitter) exploded with videos and eyewitness accounts of the chaos in this major tourist hub in Jalisco state. People describe scenes as a "war zone," with tourists trapped, flights canceled by airlines like Air Canada, United, and American, and official shelter-in-place advisories from the U.S. and Canadian governments.

Many recent social media posts highlight fear among visitors watching from rooftops or sharing real-time clips of burning streets and clashes involving CJNG gunmen and security forces.

This is a developing story.
