A couple who own a bakery in South Texas were convicted of harboring illegal immigrants. It was the first high profile case in the region to head to federal court. 

Plus, the U.S. State Department is calling on Americans to stay away from the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas and to reconsider travel to Baja California, Sonora, and Chihuahua.

The latest travel advisory posted cites violent crime in those states, including homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery. It also alludes to a “risk of terroristic violence” in some areas.

Tamaulipas – where Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, and Matamoros border the South Texas communities of Laredo, Hidalgo County, and Brownsville – is designated as a Level 4 risk: Do not travel.
