Izaguirre extermination camp

Background

The Jalisco extermination camp was a forced recruitment and training center located at Rancho Izaguirre, in the municipality of Teuchitlán in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Operated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, it has been referred to by various names in the media, such as an extermination center, a concentration camp, and the little school of terror. An announcement made by Omar García Harfuch, head of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), addressed speculation it was a extermination camp, clarifying that it was exclusively a training center. The site was discovered on 5 March 2025, following an anonymous call to a group of volunteers dedicated to searching for missing persons.
