In a shocking discovery, a ranch in Tehuichitlan, Jalisco, has been uncovered as a site for horrific crimes committed by the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG). This revelation comes shortly after the U.S. government labeled CJNG as a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying efforts to dismantle the cartel.
The discovery was made by a group known as Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco, who are dedicated to searching for the remains of individuals who have gone missing due to cartel violence. With the assistance of Mexico’s National Guard, the group entered the ranch and quickly found evidence of a clandestine crematorium and a killing field. They encountered numerous personal items, including hundreds of shoes, alongside human remains and ashes.
Activists from the group have begun sharing videos and photos of the items they found, hoping to provide leads for families searching for their missing loved ones. The ranch is believed to have served multiple purposes for CJNG, acting as a training ground, holding area, and site for executions.
The recent U.S. designation of CJNG as a terrorist organization is expected to put pressure on the Mexican government to take action against the cartel. The White House has previously criticized the close ties between drug cartels and Mexican authorities, calling the situation unacceptable.
In related news, Ruben “El Menchito” Oseguera Gonzalez, the son of CJNG’s leader, was sentenced to life in prison in the U.S. for his role in the cartel. This sentencing is part of broader efforts to combat the influence of CJNG and other criminal organizations in both Mexico and the United States.
