Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat
The heavily armed agents were dressed in civilian clothing riding in a gray sedan without plates.
Immediately after blocking the reporters, the occupants of the sedan bolted from the vehicle and drew their weapons and at least one pointed his weapon at the vehicle with the journalists.
Agents yelled for the occupants to exit the vehicle, then using his weapon at least one banged on the window causing the glass to break, but the reporters remained inside the vehicle, recording the aggression of the feds. The armed men whistle and motion for men in trucks marked federal police, at least two arrived within seconds before the video goes black.
Although the aggressors are referred to as federal agents, it is not reported how this is known, they could be mistaken for armed cartel members.
It is unknown who posted the video on youtube yesterday, but it could have been the Televisa reporters in the vehicle or one of the watch dog agencies they reported the incident to, such as Article 19.
