Federales

Federales (singular Federale or, rarely but aligning with Spanish, Federal) is a slang term in English and Spanish that refers to security forces, particularly those of the Mexican federal government. The term gained widespread usage by English speakers due to popularization in such films as The Wild Bunch, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Blue Streak, the television drama series Breaking Bad and its spinoff prequel Better Call Saul, as well as the song Pancho and Lefty by Townes Van Zandt. The term is a cognate and counterpart to the slang "Feds" in the United States.
