Grey Bull Rescue launches 'CONDOR REACH' to evacuate Americans from Mexico

Grey Bull Rescue has launched a mission named CONDOR REACH to evacuate American tourists stranded in parts of Mexico amid a wave of violence tied to the death of a major cartel leader. The operation comes as flights and roads were disrupted, and officials urged U. S. citizens to shelter in place until conditions stabilize.

Grey Bull Rescue outlines CONDOR REACH

The founder of the organization described the new mission as a targeted effort to extract Americans from areas experiencing acute unrest. The group’s founder said teams were deployed after violence spread across multiple Mexican states, and emphasized the mission’s priority is moving people from dangerous locations to safer departure points. Grey Bull Rescue has previously carried out hundreds of operations and has evacuated thousands of Americans and their allies since 2021.

War‑zone level operation deployed

Officials on the ground characterized the unrest as resembling a war‑zone, citing highly organized cartel retaliation following the death of a top cartel boss. The backlash included numerous fatalities reported on a single day and attacks that targeted security forces. The founder warned that the cartel’s resources and organization can make affected areas especially hazardous, and advised Americans in unsafe areas to avoid travel until security conditions improve.

Flights, sheltering and security response

Air service was disrupted as airlines canceled flights into some regional airports while military and security forces worked to clear roadblocks and restore order. Some carriers began resuming operations after authorities removed hundreds of roadblocks that had been set across multiple states. Additional soldiers were deployed to western Mexico, and an embassy established shelter-in-place guidance for U. S. citizens in several coastal and nearby states.

What the numbers show and next steps

The group’s public statements note that it has conducted more than 800 rescue missions since 2021 and evacuated more than 8, 000 people in prior operations. On the security side, more than 250 roadblocks were cleared across roughly 20 states and some thousands of additional troops were sent to the region to counter the cartel’s retaliation. Those operational figures frame why an organized evacuation push such as CONDOR REACH was launched now.

Key takeaways

• grey bull rescue launched CONDOR REACH to extract Americans from violence-affected areas.
• Ground conditions described as war‑zone level prompted shelter-in-place warnings and flight disruptions.
• Security deployments and cleared roadblocks have allowed some airlines to resume limited service.

Looking ahead, the evacuation effort will hinge on continued reopening of air and ground routes and the security forces’ ability to sustain cleared passages. If flights continue to resume and roadblocks remain cleared, organized evacuations can shift toward scheduled departures; if instability persists, ad hoc rescue operations are likely to continue until safer travel is assured. Many details about individual extractions and timelines remain not publicly confirmed at this time.
