Searching mothers reported that Rancho Izaguirre has already been cleaned by authorities.

Searching mothers who went to the Rancho Izaguirre  in  Teuchitlán reported that the authorities cleaned the place before their inspection. They claimed they didn't receive explanations and that the evidence of extermination was removed without transparency.

The site, allegedly used by organized crime to torture, murder, and incinerate missing persons, was opened to the collectives after weeks of public pressure. What they found was disheartening: the ranch no longer had visible remains, clothing, or complete structures.

Several mothers expressed that the place seemed to have been intervened before their arrival. "They've already swept everything," they said upon leaving the visit. The visit was organized by the state and federal prosecutor's offices, who didn't offer concrete information or allow free access.

The disorganization was evident: the Luz de Esperanza collective accused the  FGR of having abandoned two searching mothers during the tour. Additionally, the collectives pointed out that there was no trained personnel to explain what was found, what was removed, or how the evidence was preserved.

The Guerreros Buscadores collective, which had entered the ranch in previous days, had documented crematories, charred bone remains, and more than 400 personal items. All of that, according to the mothers, was already removed without clarity. The images that circulated after the reopeningof thesiteshowemptystructures and apparently intervened areas.

It is unknown if the evidence was transferred for analysis or if it simply disappeared. The prosecutor's office promised to transport them to the ranch for free, but left them stranded and they had to go on their own.

Institutional silence and the absence of protocols reinforced the suspicions of cover-up

The Jalisco Prosecutor's Office, which had already been accused of leaving the place in abandonment for more than six months, is now accused of obstructing the work of the collectives. The handover of the file to the FGR, far from representing a will for justice, seems to respond to media weariness.

Claudia Sheinbaum, in response to the criticism, limited herself to promising "better forensic coordination." This promise was made without mentioning the possible manipulation of the scene.

No official has explained why the ranch was intervened without the presence of the mothers, nor who ordered the supposed cleanings.

The collectives insist that the site was altered

They warn that, as in other cases, the authorities prefer to sweep the traces away rather than face the truth. Meanwhile, thousands of families continue searching for their missing loved ones, with the certainty that the State not only doesn't help but hinders.
