U.S. State Dept. places Mexico placed under Level 2 travel advisory; Chicago area teen was shot during visit
The U.S. State Department has a new warning for anyone planning to go to Mexico in the near future. The State Department said Mexico is under a Level 2 advisory, and people should be cautious of terrorism, crime, and kidnapping. This does not mean people should not travel there, but experts say travelers should do their research before going. Jason Peña's family has seen the threat of danger in Mexico firsthand in a tragic way. The 14-year-old Oak Forest boy went into a coma after a man shot him in the head. It happened along a highway while Jason was visiting his family in Durango, Mexico in December. Jason's mom said only 30% of his brain can function now, even with months of rehab. Authorities said his dad, his uncle, and a third man died in the shooting after a family celebration. "In my perspective, on a daily basis, I work with individuals who have fled imminent danger in Mexico," said Pastor Julie Contreras, an immigration advocate who works with Jason's family. After countless cases she has dealt with in Mexico, Contreras said travelers have limited government assistance and emergency services to access. "The family had to hire attorneys in Mexico, pay a lot of money to see justice be served," she said. While the State Department issued a Level 2 advisory for the whole country of Mexico this week, each Mexican state might have its own risks. The states of Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas are all under a Level 4 warning — meaning the State Department advises not visiting them at all due to homicides and shootings. Several other states — Baja California, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, and Sonora — are under a Level 3 advisory in which it is advised to "reconsider travel." Mexico City and the State of Mexico, as well as the states of Aguascalientes, Baja California Sur, Durango, Hidalgo, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz are under a Level 2 warning, or "exercise increased caution." Quintana Roo includes such popular tourist destinations as Cancún and Cozumel. Only two states — the states of Campeche and Yucatán — are under a Level 1 advisory in which travelers may exercise normal precautions. All this being said, CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg said almost every country has a travel advisory. "Level 2 means travel with increased caution, which doesn't worry me at all," said Greenberg. But he said people should still study up before going anywhere. "All it really means is increase situational awareness, which every traveler should have, and it should not stop you from traveling to Mexico — or Cleveland, for that matter," Greenberg said. As for Jason, Contreras said it is a miracle he's alive. But she said no one's vacation should cost them their life. "It still doesn't change the fact that that mother had to go through several hoops and receive humanitarian assistance from organization to bring her child — children — to safety," Contreras said. Under the advisory, the State Department said anyone who is stopped at a road checkpoint while traveling should cooperate with officials. People should also avoid traveling in the dark or alone, especially in remote areas.

Evil mom tortured kids to pretend they were sick —almost killing one by draining his blood: ‘Nothing short of horrifying'
A 'heinous' Minnesota mom tortured her three kids to make them look seriously sick and get money for their care — almost killing her 9-year-old son by draining his blood to pretend he was dying of a mystery illness. Jordan Nicole Borders, 34, put her kids through five years of abuse that was 'nothing short of horrifying,' Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said as the mom was sentenced to 39 years in prison. 'Borders' crimes are some of the most heinous and agonizing I have seen.' Doctors became suspicious in 2022 when Borders' young son had 'dangerously low levels of hemoglobin' in his blood with no obvious explanation — and they realized her other kids had mysterious illnesses, too, for which the mom was collecting tens of thousands to help pay for treatment. Her 8-year-old daughter wore an unprescribed hearing aid, causing a boil on the back of her ear, while her 11-year-old son wore a cast for more than two years while supposedly suffering from brittle bone disease. Jorden Nicole Borders, 34, would take her son's own blood so he appeared sick. Crow Wing County Jail When interviewed, the kids told cops that their mom had been withdrawing blood with a syringe from the 9-year-old boy, who said it left him 'sick-sleepy.' The mom chatted with people online about needing help with end-of-life care for the boy. The children told investigators that their mom, from Crosslake, would make them vomit at doctors' appointments to appear sick. She would also beat them with charging cords, belts and spoons and threaten to withhold food and even kill them. If they disobeyed, she made them stand outside, naked. Throughout, Borders received Medicaid assistance as well as gifts and money from non-profit foundations for her children's fake illnesses. 'The medical issues in the children were created by her,' prosecutor Dominika Kins said at the sentencing hearing Thursday, according to the Brainerd Dispatch. 'She abused her position of authority,' said Kins. 'And she stripped [her children] of an actual childhood.' Borders was earlier convicted of attempted murder as well as child torture and theft by representation. 'The facts we proved in court are nothing short of horrifying,' said Ellison, the state attorney general. 'It strains the imagination and breaks my heart into pieces to think about the torture and anguish — physical, mental, and emotional — that Borders inflicted on her own children. I ask every Minnesotan to join me in praying for these children's healing.' The 9-year-old boy was placed in protective custody in May of 2022, according to the Dispatch. The other two children were removed from the home in July. Borders' parental rights to the three children have been terminated. Borders' own mom told the court in an impact statement that she'd been kept from seeing her grandkids, and felt relieved that she could finally see them.
