A group of searching mothers found charred human remains, shoes, clothing, and spent cartridges on a property in March 2025, which led to new investigations. It was believed that the place was neither an extermination camp nor a forced recruitment site, according to previous investigations. The ranch was secured by federal forces in September 2024 after freeing two people.
The collective Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco led the search at the ranch, claiming that young people were recruited under false pretenses and those who refused to join were killed. It is stated that the ranch operated similarly to other sites discovered in Jalisco between 2023 and 2025. They criticized the intervention of search collectives and denied that the place was associated with crimes.
The spokesperson for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) dismissed the accusations, asserting that the ranch was not linked to organized crime and questioning previous investigations. The Jalisco Prosecutor's Office admitted failures in the initial investigation and transferred the case to the Attorney General's Office. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called for a thorough and impartial investigation.
In a video circulated on social media, an alleged masked spokesperson for the CJNG denied the accusations about the ranch and claimed that no crimes were committed at the site. Authorities continue to investigate to clarify the events that occurred in this area.
