Citizen Journalists in Mexico Risking Death to Expose Cartels, Corruption and Media Blackout
A team from Breitbart Texas traveled deep into the Gulf cartel-controlled city of Reynosa, Mexico to meet with one of the citizen journalists leading the effort. In a small secret room deep in the heart of this Mexican city, Breitbart Texas spoke with a man who lives under constant threats because of his effort to use social media in alerting his fellow citizens about "situations of risk". For security reasons, the man known as "Chuy" never shows his face on social media, but his twitter handle @MrCruzstar, has become synonymous with exposing information about the confrontations between the criminal organizations, the cartel members' names, their locations, and corruption in the government. "Chuy" can be seen only from behind in the Breitbart Texas video and he wore a ski mask in an effort to protect his identity.
