On today’s episode, Vince talks to Ceci Flores and returning guest Adriana Jones to discuss the recently discovered extermination camps in Mexico. 

Ceci Flores is Mexican activist searching for victims of forced disappearances, including her two kidnapped sons.

Since 2015, her collective “Madre Buscadoras de Sonora” has uncovered over 2,700 bodies in clandestine graves and reunited more than 2,300 missing persons with their families. Despite threats and being forced to relocate, she continues her fight against cartel violence and government inaction. She was recognized as one of the BBC’s 100 most influential women in 2022, she also authored *Madre Buscadora, Chronicle of Desperation*, which won Mexico’s “Book of the Year” award.

Adriana Jones is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of RhonitaVIVE, a bi-national human rights organization dedicated to raising awareness about cartel violence in Mexico. She established the nonprofit in memory of her sister, Maria "Rhonita" LeBaron, who, along with her four children, was tragically murdered in a cartel attack in November 2019. Adriana has since become an outspoken advocate, calling for the designation of Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations and striving to bring attention to the pervasive violence affecting countless families
