Families search for clues at mexican ranch where burnt bones were found
Eager to find any trace of their missing relatives, dozens of people visited a ranch in western Mexico on Thursday, where burnt bones were found and which was allegedly used as a training center for a drug cartel.
The relatives entered the property in the town of Teuchtilán (Jalisco state) and examined several items in the hope of finding a clue that might end their years of anguish in many cases.
They inspected handmade weights and dumbbells, leaving candles and photographs of their loved ones, AFP observed.
The families arrived at the ranch after a confrontation with officials from the Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office, who had blocked their access as journalists toured the site along with authorities.
The reporters were invited by the Attorney General’s Office, which is now taking over the investigation due to alleged irregularities in the inquiry being conducted by the local authorities.
“Son, listen, your mother is in the fight!” shouted Alejandra Cruz as she approached the ranch’s door, where a collective searching for missing persons had found burnt bones, along with hundreds of clothes and shoes, on March 5.
Cruz is searching for her 19-year-old son, Julio César Aguayo Cruz, who has been missing since May 31, 2021.
The families fear that the remains may belong to their missing relatives, possibly recruited under false pretenses by a cartel operating in the area, located about 60 kilometers from Guadalajara, the country’s second-largest city.
There are approximately 124,000 missing persons in Mexico, nearly 15,000 of them in Jalisco, according to official records.

Petro criticizes Milei, calling him ‘greedy’ and a ‘Mussolini nostalgic’
Colombian President Gustavo Petro described his Argentine counterpart, Javier Milei, as a “nostalgic admirer” of Benito Mussolini, “greedy,” and labeled him a “cipayo” for his admiration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
“I believe Milei is nostalgic for Mussolini and is part of forces that represent death rather than life. Milei is greedy,” Petro said in an interview on La Pizarra, a radio program hosted by Spanish economist Alfredo Serrano Mancilla, who is based in Argentina.
Petro suggested that Milei does not identify with Latin America due to his Italian citizenship, which was granted to him by Giorgia Meloni’s government during an official visit to Italy.
“Milei comes from the European world; he does not come from the Latin American flow. He is Italian. And today, Italy is in full decline, still longing not for the Roman Empire, but for Mussolini—something even worse,” the Colombian president added.

Miami crash injures three, including police officer; one in critical condition
A pedestrian remains in critical condition on Sunday after a two-vehicle crash involving a Miami police officer shut down several streets for hours the previous night.
Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the officer was driving east in a patrol car on Northwest Seventh Street when a westbound driver turned left at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Street and Northwest 47th Avenue, according to Miami Police Officer Kiara Delva.
A video from CBSMiami, a news partner of the Miami Herald, showed a dark-colored Toyota with front-left damage and a Miami police patrol car with damage on the driver’s side.
Two women walking along Northwest Seventh Street were either struck by the vehicles or hit by flying debris. Delva told CBSMiami that the officer and one woman were hospitalized in stable condition, while another remained in critical condition. The Toyota’s driver was unharmed.
As of early Sunday morning, Northwest Seventh Street remained closed from Northwest 43rd Avenue to Northwest 51st Avenue, while Northwest 47th Avenue was shut down from Sixth Street

Justice Department: Third deportation flight followed legal orders
The U.S. Department of Justice stated on Friday that the third deportation flight carrying Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador last Saturday did not violate a court order, as all its passengers had final removal orders and none were expelled under the Alien Enemies Act.
“I don’t know the details of what those orders said, but what I understand and what I have been told is that everyone on the third plane had final removal orders,” said the State Department attorney during a hearing before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C.
On Saturday, Judge Boasberg issued an order to halt deportations based on Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law last used during World War II that allows for the summary removal of foreign nationals.
Despite the ruling, three flights departed from Texas that day, landing in El Salvador, where they handed over more than 200 Venezuelans—whom the U.S. government claims are members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang—to local authorities, who agreed to imprison them.
