The extermination camps in Jalisco are just a demonstration of the power of criminal groups, in addition to leaving the light in such a cruel way of training capos and disappearing people. Bibiana Belsasso and Jorge Fernández Menéndez show us that in politics and power, everything, but absolutely Everything is Personal.

In an interview with Luis Cárdenas for MVS News, journalist Óscar Balmen explained how the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has reached its "evolution 3.0," characterized by the specialization and brutality of its operations. He detailed the use of the extermination camp in Teuchitlán, designed for both training and the annihilation of people, and how the CJNG has evolved from an extension of the Milenio Cartel to one of the most sophisticated and violent criminal organizations in the world.

Edith González Treviño, leader and coordinator of the collective "Love for the Disappeared in Tamaulipas," spoke about the extermination camp discovered by the group. She stated that they are awaiting the intervention of the Attorney General's Office for its removal; however, she points out that the institution's agenda is significantly behind schedule, as this is not the first time they have reported a similar discovery.

Eerie Discovery in Jalisco: 400 Pairs of Shoes, Clothes, and Suitcases Found in Clandestine Ovens

In Teuchitlán, Jalisco, authorities stumbled upon a chilling scene: clandestine ovens containing roughly 400 pairs of shoes, assorted clothing, and suitcases. The site, uncovered in a rural area, is suspected to be a disposal ground for evidence tied to organized crime—a grim tactic often used to erase traces of victims or illicit activities.

Local reports suggest the ovens were well-hidden, raising alarm in the community about the scale of underworld operations in the region. Officials are now digging deeper, investigating who’s behind this macabre find and what stories these items might tell.

I mean, if the agencies know where these camps/bases are located, cant the army be called in ?

I am sure Mexican army has better numbers,training,firepower, weapons, drones, NVGs/Kits than these mafia foot soldiers.

Why is that there is no major crackdown against this? Or is this a problem that has no quick fixes & needs long term strategies?

Some politicians protect them so they do not allow to act on time only civil groups are really fighting them since they are people who has lost family members or friends.

But the Cartels in Mexico are the result of local corruption and poverty, weapons from the USA and drug demand from the USA, plus there are Canadian and American drug dealers.
 

Mexicans hope uncovered mass grave sheds light on missing relatives​

Mexico's attorney general promises full investigation into mass grave
By Lizbeth Diaz

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -The families of many Mexicans who have been missing for years are looking for answers in the discovery of piles of clothes, shoes and skeletal remains at a ranch in western Mexico that may have been a base to burn bodies and bury the remains.

Civilian activists searching for missing loved ones discovered the mass grave last week in Teuchitlan, Jalisco state, along with ovens possibly used to cremate bodies.

"This has given hope to many people looking for their relatives so they can find their loved ones," said Raul Servin, a member of a group of people searching for lost family members, who has been trying to find his son for seven years.

Servin said many people from all over Mexico had contacted his group to say they had identified clothes, shoes, backpacks or other objects their relatives were wearing on the days they disappeared.

Mexico's Attorney General's Office did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on the case, a day after top prosecutor Alejandro Gertz pledged a full investigation and said it would have been impossible for Jalisco's state authorities to not have been aware of what was happening.

Jalisco's state prosecutor's office told Reuters it would have results in two weeks on tests being carried out on hundreds of items of clothing, bullet casings of various calibers and skeleton fragments found in Teuchitlan.

The state prosecutor's office said it had set up a public platform with nearly 600 items recovered at the scene, such as suitcases, backpacks and pieces of clothing, so people could identify belongings online.

Located by the Pacific coast, Jalisco is home to the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a criminal organization that authorities accuse of forcibly recruiting young people and being behind the state's high number of missing persons reports.


Virginia Garay, whose son has been missing since 2018, said her group in neighboring Nayarit was preparing for the arrival of representatives of other groups from across Mexico, hoping to identify lost family members.

"We are looking for the resources so we can go and personally review the clothing and all the evidence at the site," Garay said.

Amnesty International's Mexico chief Edith Olivares urged the Mexican government to clarify the facts and provide the necessary resources to do so, as well as give dignified treatment to people who recognized relatives' clothing.

"The Mexican state has been the great absentee in the problem of forced disappearance," Olivares said. She added that community groups, made up mostly of women, had helped locate hundreds of bodies and people were turning to them rather than the government.

Mexico counts over 124,000 missing people, according to government data.

TEUCHITLAN, Mexico (AP) — When a group of citizens searching for missing relatives in the western state of Jalisco arrived at a remote ranch outside Mexico's second-largest city last week on an anonymous tip, all they had to do was push open the unlocked gate.

Inside they went to work with simple tools — picks, shovels and metal bars — doing the work that state investigators supposedly had done six months earlier.

What they found embarrassed state authorities and shook Mexico: dozens of shoes, heaps of clothing and what appeared to be human bone fragments. Distraught families from across the country have already started reaching out about clothing items they say they recognize.

It was a shocking reminder of Mexico’s more than 120,000 disappeared and enough to push the federal government to take over the troubled investigation.

A ‘training base’ for cartel recruits

The ranch in Teuchitlan, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) west of Guadalajara was allegedly being used as a training base for cartel recruits when National Guard troops found it last September.

Authorities then said 10 people were arrested, two hostages were freed and a body was found wrapped in plastic. The state prosecutor’s office went in with a backhoe, dogs and devices to find inconsistencies in the ground.

But then the investigation went quiet until members of the Jalisco Search Warriors, one of dozens of search collectives that dot Mexico, visited the site last week on a tip.

They found the shoes, as well as heaps of other clothing and what appeared to be burned bone fragments.

Members of the search collective were back at the site Thursday, invited to observe authorities as they worked to register evidence and search the property.


“A lot of families have stepped forward to identify items of clothing,” said Maribel, a member of the search collective, who spoke to the press outside the ranch and asked to only be identified by her first name for safety.

“What we want is to stop all of this, the disappearances,” she said. “We hope that this time they'll do the work as they should.”

An ‘irresponsible omission’

There are more than 120,000 disappeared people in Mexico, according to the government’s tally. Search collectives like the Jalisco Search Warriors have had to organize to do the work that authorities often will not do. They search for sites like the one in Teuchitlan, sometimes with government protection, but more often without, then make their discoveries known to pressure authorities into doing their jobs.

This time it worked.


Jalisco State Prosecutor Salvador González de los Santos visited the ranch personally Tuesday. He said that investigators had found six groups of bones, but it was unclear how many victims they could belong to. He did not provide details on why investigators had previously failed to find what the untrained private citizens did, but said the previous efforts “were insufficient.”

His office posted photos of all of the evidence located hoping that relatives might identify an item of clothing.

Jalisco Gov. Pablo Lemus announced Wednesday that the federal Attorney General’s Office would take over the investigation as requested by Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum. The Jalisco New Generation cartel is the dominant criminal organization in the state.

On Thursday, white government vehicles ringed the isolated ranch of squat buildings enclosed by a tall wall and fields.

“This ranch served as a training site and even though it sounds awful, really harsh, for extermination,” said collective leader Indira Navarro, earlier this week.


She blamed the state’s previous Gov. Enrique Alfaro for “trying to hide this kind of situation or discovery.” And she asked aloud how state investigators with technology and training could have failed to find what her group did “with pick, shovel and metal bar.”

On Wednesday, the Mexican Episcopal Conference said in a statement that it was troubled by the discovery of the site, which points to an “irresponsible omission” on the part of authorities at all three levels of government and another sign of the larger problem of Mexico’s disappeared.
