...MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MAY 23, 2025: Relatives of missing persons joined search brigades in Mexico City, Mexico, on Friday, May 23, combing through the Tarango ravines in hopes of finding the remains of their loved ones. The search operation included families of the disappeared, civil collectives, firefighters, and members of the Investigation Police. Equipped with tools and protective gear, the groups methodically searched the area, which is known for being used as a clandestine dumping ground. Mexico has reported more than 116,000 forceful disappearances since 1964, when the government began documenting such crimes. Since then, disappearances have become a favored method of repression by criminal groups and state security agencies. In the past six years, a person went missing in Mexico every hour.
