"They’re trying to clean up Jalisco’s image when it comes to the disappearances. It’s a real mockery for us, the victims.They want to wash away everything that has to do with the issue of the disappeared, but they won’t be able to because we’re going to continue fighting."

STORYLINE:
Fans flocking to a soccer match at a stadium a few miles away, south of Guadalajara, shout “Mexico! Mexico!” walked by dozens of pollice officers, bomb-sniffing dogs, metal detectors under the unblinking stare of surveillance cameras as authorities work to fine-tune their measures ahead of next year’s World Cup matches.

On the same day, south of the city, there was a different sort of deployment as National Guard troops stood guard as volunteers dug up the small patio of an abandoned house – with metal rods, shovels and their hands -- looking for some of Mexico’s 134,000 disappeared.

It’s a jarring contrast of modern Mexico especially present in the western state of Jalisco where soccer stadiums coexist with some of the world’s most powerful criminal organizations.

Here hundreds of police and soldiers will deploy to keep soccer fans safe during the World Cup next summer, but meanwhile, local families are the ones searching for their missing relatives.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which the Trump administration designated a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year, has established itself as Mexico’s most powerful criminal organization.
