MEXICO CITY (AP) -- The U.S. State Department updated its travel warning for Mexico on Thursday, adding three states to its list of places it recommends Americans avoid when south of the border.
The new warning adds the northern state of Tamaulipas, parts of the northern Pacific coast state of Sinaloa and the western state of Michoacan.
It notes that all three are troubled by organized crime and drug violence.
The State Department previously had warned against traveling to the northern states of Chihuahua, Durango and Coahuila, also crime and drug hot spots.
