The United States Consulate in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, is sounding the alarm about the targeting of U.S. citizens, residents, and people with connections in the U.S. for ransom kidnappings while traveling on passenger buses.specifically pointing out the cases centered around the border city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, claiming that the kidnappings focused on intercity buses leaving Reynosa.

The case follows a trend previously reported by Breitbart Texas in January, where the Gulf Cartel was targeting buses as they left the Reynosa bus station. At the time, they were kidnapping migrants. In one particular case, the gunmen kidnapped a bus with more than 30 migrants and held them for ransom. It wasn’t until the case drew national attention that the Gulf Cartel released the kidnapped migrants despite initial claims by Mexican authorities about having rescued them through an operation.
