On March 21, 1811, at Acatita de Baján in Coahuila, the royalist officer Ignacio Elizondo captured Miguel Hidalgo, Ignacio Allende and other insurgent leaders. He had pretended that he wanted to join them. In his own report, he describes a reception “con apariencia de un recibimiento obsequioso” (with the appearance of an obliging welcome).
The historical calendar of Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission reads: “Allende fue traicionado por el teniente coronel Ignacio Elizondo en Acatita de Baján, Coahuila” (Allende was betrayed by Lieutenant Colonel Ignacio Elizondo at Acatita de Baján, Coahuila).
