Tamaulipas Missing Persons Group Urges President Sheinbaum to Advance Identification Center

Activists from the "Amor por los Desaparecidos en Tamaulipas" collective have directly appealed to President Claudia Sheinbaum, imploring her to revitalize the stalled Human Identification Center project. The group, carrying posters with images of their missing loved ones, presented documents requesting the competent authorities to excavate and identify the human remains found at numerous sites.

Edith González Treviño, the collective's president, along with mothers actively searching for their relatives, conveyed the urgent pleas of families across Tamaulipas who have missing persons. Their formal request, dated August 14, 2026, points to the existence of calcined human remains at more than 80 "extermination sites" located throughout the state. These remains have yet to be collected and identified by specialized prosecutor's offices.

The collective specifically called for the operationalization of the Human Identification Center in Altamira, a facility that has been under construction since 2022. They also requested a meeting with the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, and urged for an audit and supervision of personnel within the specialized prosecutor's offices.

This direct engagement with the president underscores the ongoing crisis of disappearances in Tamaulipas and the frustration of families seeking answers and justice. The collective's actions highlight the critical need for governmental action to address the scale of human remains and ensure proper identification processes are implemented.
