Cacho faces harassment and attacks for her investigative journalism. In July 2019, two individuals broke into her home, stole equipment and research materials, and killed her dogs. Despite IACHR recommendations, the Mexican government has withdrawn protection on her home. In 2021, the government of Spain granted Cacho Spanish nationality due to threats she faces for her work.
