In a recent incident near the ranch El Soyate, the Zacatecas State Police were attacked, prompting safety measures around the Aguilar family who were nearby. Rodrigo Reyes Mugüerza, the Secretary of the Interior for Zacatecas, explained that the Aguilar family members were on the ranch's premises during the confrontation but are not considered connected to the violent events. Consequently, they are not obligated to provide any statements to the authorities regarding the attack.

Reyes Mugüerza emphasized that the Aguilar family is not under investigation and provided an assurance that their presence at the scene does not implicate them in the conflict that occurred. The decision not to require their testimony has raised some questions and discussions around the transparency of the investigation, especially regarding how authorities deal with local families that may have connections to regional conflicts.

The incident underlines ongoing security concerns in Zacatecas, a region known for violence related to organized crime and drug trafficking. The governor’s direct communication with the Aguilar family highlights the complexities of law enforcement in areas where community and family ties intersect with security issues. This situation reflects broader challenges faced by the government in maintaining order while navigating local power dynamics.
