- ❖Police, after being called, provided a 'cautelar measure' for public force assistance for 30 days but abandoned the family at the scene, advising them to change the locks themselves.
- ❖During the confrontation, the alleged invaders, identified as Lourdes and her family, demanded 20,000 pesos for 'rent' and later 200,000 pesos to leave, effectively extorting the family.

Insights
1Property Invasion and Alleged Organized Crime
Mariana's house was invaded by individuals described by the family and neighbors as part of an organized crime group specializing in property dispossession. These groups allegedly steal belongings and then demand payment from the rightful owners to vacate the property.
Mariana's neighbors informed her that her new furniture was being stolen. Eduardo states, 'nos habían comentado los vecinos y autoridades de que efectivamente había este grupos de delincuencia organizada que se dedicaban a este al despojo de casas.' The invaders demanded 20,000 to 200,000 pesos to leave the house.
2Ineffective Police Response and Escalation
Despite reporting the invasion and having a 'cautelar measure' for public force assistance, the police provided minimal support. They left the scene, advising the family to handle the situation themselves, which directly contributed to the escalation of the conflict.
Eduardo recounts, 'no duraron ni 2 minutos ahí y nos este pues prácticamente nos abandonaron, ¿no? Y nos dijeron que hiciéramos lo propio, que este cambiáramos nosotros las chapas de la puerta.'
3Self-Defense Against Aggressive Invaders
The family asserts they acted in self-defense against increasingly violent and aggressive invaders who physically attacked them and allegedly fired the first shot. They carried firearms due to prior threats and the known risks of confronting such groups.
Mariana states, 'el más joven era más peligroso y más violento, que fue el que se le quiso aventar a mi mamá a a pegarle, que fue cuando mi mamá le tiró un balazo.' Eduardo adds, 'en ese momento este suena un balazo. Pensamos que nos habían disparado a nosotros.'
4Disputed Legal Charges and Media Influence
The family is charged with aggravated homicide for two deaths, while the alleged invaders are only charged with 'despojo' (dispossession), despite claims of stolen property. A viral video, which the family believes was manipulated, heavily influenced public perception against them.
Eduardo states, 'nos acusan por homicidio calificado con ventaja.' Mariana adds, 'totalmente en contra de nosotros, como si nosotros fuéramos los delincuentes.' They argue the invaders should face 'robo a casa habitación' charges.
Bottom Line
The current legal framework in Mexico for property invasion ('despojo') may be insufficient to address cases involving organized crime, as it often fails to account for associated crimes like robbery and extortion, thus incentivizing such criminal activities.
This legal gap allows organized groups to operate with relative impunity, facing lighter charges than the violence and theft they inflict, while victims attempting to reclaim property face severe legal consequences.
Advocate for legislative reform to reclassify property invasion by organized groups to include aggravated charges for associated crimes (robbery, extortion, violence), ensuring proportional justice and deterring such criminal enterprises.
Lessons
- Document all communications and interactions with authorities and alleged invaders, including timestamps, names, and specific details, as evidence for potential legal proceedings.
- Seek immediate legal counsel from a specialist in property law and criminal defense if facing property invasion, rather than attempting direct confrontation, even with police presence.
- Be aware of local organized crime patterns related to property invasion and understand the limitations of police response in such high-risk situations.
