Mexico City Intelligence Brief

Priority actions

1Avoid planned demonstrations and large gatherings (e.g., Feb 14 marches) — expect road closures and crowding; use alternate routes.
2Use regulated taxi stands or app-based ride services (Uber/Cabify) rather than hailing street taxis; travel with others and avoid late-night travel between cities.
3Keep valuables concealed and stay on well-lit, busy streets; be alert for snatch/robbery attempts often carried out from motorcycles.
4Enroll in STEP (Smart Traveler Enrollment Program) and monitor local news for updates on protests or transit disruptions.
5If you encounter a security checkpoint or police orders, comply immediately — fleeing or resisting increases risk.
