Plot Synopsis

Every year, hundreds of wanted Americans flee to Mexico to evade justice, thinking once they've crossed the border, they're home free. What these fugitives don't know is that there's an elite Mexican police unit whose sole mission is to catch them. FUGITIVE HUNTERS MEXICO is a one-hour docuseries that follows this undercover unit as they investigate, track, and capture American fugitives. With intel from the FBI, DEA, US Marshals and Mexican authorities, this taskforce locates and apprehends US fugitives hiding out in Mexico to hand them over to law enforcement in the US to face justice for their crimes. In the season opener, "Trouble in Paradise," the Fugitive Hunters get a lead on a convicted sex offender from Nevada hiding out in a beachside resort 20 miles from the US border. The agents then set up a sting operation to capture an ex-Marine wanted for drug trafficking. Next the team races to catch a man from Arizona wanted for assault and kidnapping.
