Mexico Reviews Release of 38 Suspected Los Jahzer Members After Michoacán Camp Raid

Federal officials are reviewing the judge’s decision on the release to determine next legal steps.

Overview

  • A judge ordered the 38 detainees freed after finding discrepancies in reported detention times and no search warrant.
  • The individuals were seized last week at a training site in Vista Hermosa, Michoacán, and released over the weekend.
  • Authorities reported real firearms, replicas and weapons reserved for the military at the scene, which placed the case under FGR jurisdiction.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said investigations continue into the purpose and origin of the site, described as linked to a church.
  • Media report the group as Los Jahzer and tied to La Luz del Mundo, and Sheinbaum said no other similar camps have been found so far.
