Overview
- Community members report that armed men who identified as Jalisco Fiscalía investigators entered communal predios, issued death threats, and removed tools and materials, including at La Cueva de la Mosca.
- They say the Villa Guerrero Fiscalía office later confirmed the personnel involved belonged to the institution, despite the men not properly identifying themselves during the operation.
- A private individual identified as Refugio Raygoza (Raigosa) allegedly installed a stone wall and metal gate labeled “propiedad privada” on El Sabino Quemado without a court order, claiming instruction from state prosecutors.
- The community plans to file a complaint with the state Fiscalía and a grievance with the Jalisco human-rights commission, requesting direct intervention by state fiscal Salvador González de los Santos and asking prosecutors to refrain from territorial determinations.
- Leaders cite a yearslong agrarian case before Tribunal Agrario 16 over 39,000 hectares in possession by 119 comuneros and allege a broader pattern of criminalization and impunity, while the Villa Guerrero municipality says it has stayed on the sidelines.
