Overview

  • Authorities in Mexico are investigating a ranch in Jalisco where cremation ovens, charred bones, and personal items were found, believed to be linked to cartel activity.
  • The site, described by search collectives as an 'extermination center,' was allegedly used by the New Generation Jalisco Cartel for mass killings and training recruits.
  • Families of Mexico's over 120,000 missing people are identifying items found at the site, such as shoes and clothing, as potentially belonging to their loved ones.
  • Protests and vigils have erupted nationwide, with citizens demanding justice and accountability for the ongoing crisis of disappearances and cartel violence.
  • The discovery has sparked allegations of a cover-up, as authorities had previously raided the site in 2024 but reportedly failed to uncover evidence of the atrocities.
