I am a U.S. citizen with permanent Mexican resident status. I am writing to formally report a series of events involving my attempted abduction and extortion that occurred last July in the municipalities of Jocotepec, Chapala, and Ixtlahuacán.
Following a high-speed chase initiated by prejudice intrusive neighbors in the Raquet Club and Ajijic Village, I sought refuge in a restaurant where staff contacted local law enforcement. Officers from Public Security arrived, however instead of taking me to the American Consulate as I requested, they turned me over to an unidentified man in an unmarked vehicle who claimed to be the commander of Chapala.
I was subsequently driven to a rural area and questioned by armed individuals before being forced back to my residence for my “papers”. There I wouldn’t hand over my papers and was nearly assaulted and only released when my houseguest arrived.
There is an ongoing investigation into these events. If you have any information regarding these discriminative matters, please contact the United States Consulate or message me directly.
