Suspected Drug Cartel Death Camp Uncovered on Mexican Ranch

Burned human remains and hundreds of personal items were found, prompting calls for a deeper investigation into the site linked to organized crime.

A civilian search group discovered burned human remains, shoes, clothing, and personal items on the Izaguirre Ranch in Jalisco, Mexico, believed to be linked to the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG).
The UN Human Rights Office has called for a thorough investigation, citing the discovery as a disturbing reminder of Mexico's crisis of disappearances tied to organized crime.
Mexican authorities had previously searched the ranch in September, arresting ten people and rescuing two kidnap victims, but left behind significant evidence, including clothing and bone fragments.
Local prosecutors have denied claims of mass cremation facilities on the site, stating no ovens or similar equipment were found, despite reports from activists suggesting otherwise.
President Claudia Sheinbaum has ordered a comprehensive inquiry, including a review of potential failures in the initial investigation by authorities.
