Despite assurances from President Claudia Sheinbaum and her security minister this week that Mexico was returning to normal after a weekend of cartel violence, many vacationers to Puerto Vallarta and other cities still faced canceled flights and shelter-in-place warnings.

The travel disruptions began Sunday as criminal groups set up blockades, burned vehicles and attacked businesses in retaliation for the capture and killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, Mexico’s most wanted drug kingpin. Foreign governments including Canada and the US issued travel advisories and shelter-in-place recommendations for citizens traveling in the country, and dozens of flights were canceled to parts of Mexico.

Along with Polymarket, Kalshi’s main rival, the two leading exchanges saw nearly $1.2 billion in total trading in Sunday, Piper Sandler analysts said in a Tuesday note to clients. That brought the total for last week to $4.8 billion, a 12% increase from the previous week.
