For a decade, Rancho Izaguirre in Jalisco served as a CJNG extermination center without any intervention from the authorities.
This discovery exposes the impunity with which criminal groups operate in Mexico and the negligence of security institutions.
Ten years of horror in Teuchitlán
The existence of this site came to light thanks to the collective Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, who discovered three cremation ovens with charred human remains, more than 400 pairs of shoes, personal identifications, and bullet casings.
Anonymous testimonies suggest that the disappearances of people in the region were directly linked to this ranch. It was used not only for the execution of victims but also as a training camp for hitmen.
Evidence that the authorities ignored
The discovery of Rancho Izaguirre reveals a series of serious omissions by the authorities. For years, search collectives alerted about the high number of missing persons in Jalisco, a state that leads the national list with more than 15,000 unlocated people.
