I just received the below message in my regular email, and not by WhatsApp where they are reporting a violent protest in the zocalo, however looking at live video nothing is going on, yet.

Location: National Palace, Mexico City



Event: The Embassy has received reports of violence at a planned protest at the National Palace, near the Zocalo, in Mexico City’s historic city center. U.S. government personnel are advised to avoid the demonstration area until further notice. Past demonstrations have turned violent. U.S. citizens should avoid participating in demonstrations that may be deemed political by authorities, as historic city center.Mexican law prohibits political activities by foreign citizens, and participation may result in detention or deportation.    

 

Actions to Take: 

Demonstrations can be unpredictable; avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.

Monitor local media for updates.

Follow the directions of local authorities and in case of emergency, call 911.
