Protesters Ram Truck into Mexico Government Building in Missing Students Demonstration

Protesters in Mexico City rammed a truck into the presidential palace, demanding answers for the 43 college students who went missing in 2014. The demonstrators, partially masked, chanted for the return of the missing students as they breached the building's door with a state electricity company pickup truck. While some managed to enter the building, they were stopped by military police before reaching the president's news conference. The disappearance of the students led to a state coverup and abuses during the investigation, and President López Obrador, who had promised an honest investigation, stated it would not be complete before he leaves office this year.
