Overview

  • Activists and families of the disappeared uncovered a ranch in Jalisco believed to be used by the CJNG for forced recruitment and executions, with human remains and personal belongings found on-site.
  • The site contained evidence of human remains exposed to high temperatures, alongside hundreds of items of clothing and shoes, thought to belong to missing persons.
  • The Mexican Federal Prosecutor's Office has taken over the investigation, citing mishandling of evidence by Jalisco state authorities since September 2024.
  • The CJNG denies involvement, releasing a video accusing search groups of fabricating evidence to damage their reputation.
  • The discovery has intensified public pressure on President Claudia Sheinbaum to address Mexico's crisis of over 120,000 missing persons and implement effective anti-cartel measures.
