We don\u2019t know them,\u201d a worker identified as Alisa said. \u201cWe have heard and seen people are scouting us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the situation took a turn when two allegedly armed men from Mexico, one from Sonora, a hotbed of cartel activity and major human smuggling route, arrived at the camp and began speaking with the undercover journalist. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you ask Border Patrol for asylum?\u201d the man from Sonora asked, also inquiring where exactly he crossed the border to enter the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The woman working for No Mas Muertes then went on to tell the undercover journalist, \u201cWhen you got here we were worried you were another one of their tricks.\u201d The man from Sonora similarly expressed skepticism, asking the undercover journalist about his watch. \u201cYou got a camera in there?\u201d he asked before adding, \u201cyou can talk on the phone on there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the man from Sonora, who refused to give the undercover journalist his name, explained that he had a friend who would take him to Phoenix, Arizona for $300, a proposition that James O\u2019Keefe called \u201can odd request for a humanitarian group affiliated with a 501c3 with a $400,000 budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But when Cesar was attempting to leave and get picked up by members of the OMG team, he ended up stranded on a dirt road and was forced to reenter the camp at nightfall. Cesar claims that he was held in the camp at gunpoint, with O\u2019Keefe being forced to go to the camp, demand that he be released, and pick him up in a vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he got back into the car, Cesar almost passed out.
