The United States has lifted a security alert for Nogales, Sonora, that restricted movement of U.S. personnel to daylight hours.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico is once again allowing normal activities for U.S. government employees in Nogales, Sonora, on the border with Arizona.
The alert issued on Sept. 5 restricted activities for U.S. government employees to daylight hours only following “threat information,” but it provided no additional details about the alleged threat.
The announcement that the nearly weeklong restriction had been lifted also did not specify any details about the threat.
In late August, U.S. government activities were suspended in the Mexican border city of Mexicali, west of Yuma, Arizona. That alert appears to remain in effect.
