CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico — Threats of drug-cartel attacks against authorities have prompted U.S. officials to shut their large consulate in this border city and not indicate when the building might reopen.
A statement posted Thursday night on the consulate’s website said the facility was reviewing its “security posture.” The message urged Americans to avoid the general area around the heavily fortified building.
The consulate is the only place that processes immigrant visas in Mexico.
