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. In this groundbreaking new series, viewers follow 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.

“Fugitive Hunters Mexico” is produced by Double Act for A&E Network. Executive producers for Double Act are Alastair Cook, Penny Fearon and Rob Davis. Executive producers for A&E Network are Sean Gottlieb and Maitee Cueva. A+E Networks holds worldwide distribution rights.

Series will be available On Demand and to stream on the A&E App and aetv.com
