CNN's Josh Campbell, who was also reporting in the area but not standing with the on-air crew, said he was also approached by police but was allowed to remain. "I identified myself … they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area," said Campbell, who is white.

"I was treated much differently than [Jimenez] was."
