The high-stakes pursuit of American fugitives hiding south of the border continues in “Going Under Cover,” the second episode of “Fugitive Hunters Mexico.” This week, the elite Mexican police unit tackles two challenging cases, requiring them to go deep undercover.
First, the team is on the trail of an American wanted for murder in California. Their investigation leads them to a gym, where they must blend in seamlessly with the muscle-bound clientele to gather intel and close in on their target. Next, they shift gears, adopting the guise of carefree tourists in a beach town as they search for a fugitive wanted for drug trafficking in San Diego. Maintaining their cover while conducting surveillance in such public settings presents its own set of difficulties.
“Fugitive Hunters Mexico” provides a compelling look at the complexities of cross-border law enforcement, as the unit collaborates with agencies like the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshals. The episode airs Thursday at 10:00 PM on A&E.
