Federales
Federales (singular Federale or, rarely but aligning with Spanish, Federal) is a Spanglish word used in an informal context to denote security forces operating under a federal political system. The term gained widespread usage by English speakers due to popularization in such films as The Wild Bunch, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Blue Streak, and the television drama series Breaking Bad and its spinoff prequel Better Call Saul. The term is a cognate and counterpart to the slang "Feds" in the United States.

Federales
Federales is a short term for the Mexican Federal Police, the Federal Investigations Agency, or the Federal Preventive Police. The term gained widespread usage by English-speakers due to popularization in such films as The Wild Bunch and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The singular "Federale" is in fact incorrect, since the Spanish language uses "es" to pluralize nouns ending in a consonant; therefore, the correct singular form is "Federal." The term is a cognate and counterpart to the slang "Feds" in the United States. Historically, Federales was also the common term used for the Mexican regular or Federal Army, especially during the 34 year rule of Porfirio Díaz until 1911. Following Díaz's overthrow by rebel forces led by Francisco Madero, the Federal Army remained in existence. The Federales were eventually disbanded in July and August 1914, when Madero's successor Victoriano Huerta was in turn defeated by an alliance of revolutionary forces.
