"What the government is doing is illogical and outrageous, said Maria Herrera Magdaleno, a leader in the movement of mothers looking for their missing children: Herrera's four sons are among the disappeared. Instead of looking for our disappeared, they're disappearing them."
"The recent uproar is the latest in a longstanding battle between authorities who insist the number of disappeared is an overcount, and search collectives and human rights groups that say the true number of disappeared is far higher than reported."
In Mexico, over 130,000 individuals have vanished amid the ongoing conflict with drug cartels, marking a severe human rights crisis. Families search tirelessly for their missing loved ones, often finding only bones. The government claims many missing persons are alive, citing data that has angered relatives. Activists argue that the true number of disappearances is much higher than reported. Recent government efforts to cross-reference records have identified some missing individuals, but many cases remain unresolved due to insufficient data.
