While University of Wisconsin students are looking forward to spring break in just two weeks, the U.S. State Department is issuing new travel warnings.
Citing rising violence in the country, the State Department is asking the estimated 100,000 American college students that head to Mexico for spring break every year to take extra caution.
Officials said that among the U.S.-Mexico border, escalating violence by Mexican drug cartels has created dangerous situations, including large firefights in some towns.
