00:00Hundreds of American criminals have been hiding out, thinking they're safe in Mexico.
00:19Until now.
00:20An elite Mexican task force is tracking them down.
00:32What made you decide to come across the border?
00:35Just try to get out of Dodge.

00:38Nobody want to be in jail.

01:17So what's happening today?
01:23The Fugitive Hunters are patrolling a neighborhood in Mexicali, two miles from the U.S. border.
01:29Translators like David help them speak with American suspects.
01:33So they go from there to the neighbors.
01:35They're looking for anybody that's suspicious.
01:37Anybody out of the ordinary.
01:39They're looking for anybody that's suspicious.
01:41Anybody out of the ordinary.

04:11Um, that, okay, so that is on my birth certificate,
04:14but I don't know that last name.
04:16And he's saying I'm lying, and I'm saying I'm not.
04:19Then he asked me my father's name.
04:20I said I'm adopted out of Sacramento.
04:22Okay?
04:23I'm a foster child.
04:24Okay.
04:25I'm a foster?
04:26Do you have any kind of idea on you?
04:27I don't.
04:28I don't have an idea.
04:29I haven't had an idea in years.
04:30Like, no joke.
04:31I've lived on the streets most of my life.
04:33You, you, you, what, what, what's your, uh, parent's name?
04:36I, I'm telling you.
04:37No parents.
04:38I've been in foster care my whole life.

04:55Kelly Kindler.
04:56You, you, you, your social security number?
05:01I don't know that.
05:02You don't know it.
05:03If they can't find out who you are right now, they're going to take you in and your fingerprint's
05:07going to waste a lot of time.
05:08I am with my boyfriend.
05:10My boyfriend is on Johnson.
05:12Who is this to you?
05:13This is just a friend that I know from my boyfriend.
05:15And where is your boyfriend right now?
05:16He's probably at his brother's house.
05:18So they're going to take you to your boyfriend and get your documents to verify who you are.
05:22Do you know the number of the house?
05:24The street number?
05:25The house number?
05:26You know how to get there?
05:27It's a very strange place for someone who doesn't speak Spanish to be walking around in these streets here with the, and carrying meth.
05:42Some weird situation.
05:43It's right here in front.
05:44Blue house with a gate.
05:45Blue house with a gate.
05:46Hey.
05:47The agents are trying to confirm the idea of the house.
05:48It's a very strange place for someone who doesn't speak Spanish to be walking around
05:52in these streets here with the, and carrying meth.
05:55It's a weird situation.
05:56It's right here in front.
05:58Blue house with a gate.
06:12Hey.
06:13The agents are trying to confirm the identity of a woman who says her name is Kelly.
06:22Hi.
06:23Hello.
06:24I'm just looking for Jorge.
06:25He's not here?
06:28Oh.
06:29Where's your identification?
06:31Your ID.
06:33I, he, if George doesn't have it, then I don't know.
06:39The team notices a man approaching the house.
06:42The man knows the woman by a different name, Casey.
06:59You're lying.
07:00If you don't have the probation or something, you won't go.
07:04If you tell them the correct name, they can find you.
07:07If you don't have no warrant for arrest, they'll let you go.
07:09But if I do have a one.
07:10Back at headquarters in Tijuana, another unit of the fugitive hunters just got classified
07:26intel about an American woman on the FBI's most wanted list.
07:30We believe that if she is the person who was the person who was the person who says, it's
07:39a mistake.
07:41Joanne Chesimard, a.k.a. Asata Shakur, is a former member of the Black Liberation Army.
07:48Convicted for the murder of a police officer, she escaped from prison in 1979 and has been
07:53on the run for over 40 years.
07:55The fugitive hunters are headed to Rosarito, a resort town on the coast, only 20 miles south
08:11of the U.S. border, where the FBI believes they have tracked Chesimard.
08:41This woman, who looks pretty much like a grandmother right now, she was part of the Black Panthers,
08:55remember this, in America in the 70s?
08:59U.S. authorities issued a digitally-aged image of Chesimard.
09:03The fugitive hasn't been seen by police in decades.
09:07Right there in front of the pickup truck?
09:15Si.
09:20The agents surround a rose-colored apartment building where they believe Chesimard is hiding out.
09:37It's the same thing.
09:46Don't move!
09:50Don't move!
09:55Please.
09:56Can you beat me?
09:58Can you beat me?
10:00Put me on your leg?
10:02What did I do wrong?
10:08The woman gives a different name, not Joanne Chesimard.
10:32The fugitive hunters will take their suspect to police headquarters in Tijuana.
10:38What did I do wrong?
10:43Please, just how I know.
10:50How long you've been living in that apartment?
10:53I've only been there like two or three months, that's all.
10:55Two or three months?
10:56Yeah.
10:57I really just wanted to be around all Mexicans.
10:59The system is failing, it's collapsing in America.
11:05I was arresting when you came and I heard the noise.
11:08I did not really expect this to happen.
11:13You have you at that apartment?
11:14Yeah, just me.
11:18Are you being arrested before?
11:20I never got arrested in my life.
11:23Never went to jail in my life.
11:29Why don't you do this thing?
11:42You're lying.
11:58If you tell them the correct name, they can find you.
12:01If you don't have no warrant for arrest, they'll let you go.
12:03The fugitive hunters in Mexicali are questioning a woman who may have a warrant for her arrest back in the States.
12:09What if I do have a warrant?
12:13So you do have a warrant.
12:16If you have a warrant for arrest, they'll talk with you.
12:18Okay, let's talk.
12:21In the truck?
12:21What's your name?
12:32Casey, CASEY.
12:33C-A-S-E-Y.
12:34C-A-S-E-Y.
12:43So, how can you tell when someone's lying?
12:45She was hiding something.
13:02Right now, they're currently checking to see exactly what she has a warrant for, and they're waiting for an update.
13:08So they've got to make sure that you're not lying.
13:20Yes, for sure.
13:21So all they've got to do is to go right back.
13:23I'm born in Oakland, California.
13:25Yeah, I know.
13:28I know.
13:29I know.
13:30I know.
13:31OK, I know.
13:32So she has a criminal history.
13:37She's been arrested already for trafficking drugs.
13:40It seems like you have a warrant in Idaho.
13:42What would it be for?
13:45Not checking in?
13:46Your probation?
13:47Did you spend time in jail over there?
13:49For how many years?
13:51Three years.
13:52How was it?
13:58Terrifying.
13:5939-year-old Casey from Oakland, California, is wanted for probation violation after spending
14:10three years in prison in Idaho for drug trafficking.
14:14She's been on the run for three years.
14:16They're going to take you in.
14:17They're taking you back to prison this morning.
14:30What do you think?
14:31Stop talking to me nicely now, OK?
14:33Would you do me that favor?
14:35I'm just ruining my life right now.
14:51She died by being over here in Mexicali so far from Idaho, she can hide.
14:56And now it looks like she's going back to prison.
14:59What the hell they're going to do 10 years?
15:2210 years?
15:23Yes!
15:32I'm kind of at life right now.
15:34Wait.
15:35Casey.
15:36Come on.
15:37I don't want to do this.
15:39Sorry.
15:44I'm sorry.
15:45I'm sorry, Casey.
15:47It's nothing in person.
15:49She's obviously very distraught.
15:54She's crying a lot.
15:55How does that make you feel?
16:09Yeah, you just do your job.
16:10She's trying to find her.
16:11What I'm telling her to me, she's not personal.
16:12I don't know you, I don't know who you are.
16:13You have a crime.
16:14You're legitimate.
16:15You have an order.
16:16You have an order.
16:17You have to pay.
16:18You have to pay.
16:19Uh-huh.
16:20Mm-hmm.
16:21Mexico, I don't expect you to hide.
16:22Yeah, she's going to hide here in Mexico.
16:23You guys are final.
16:24Claro.
16:28Come here.
16:29Yes.
16:40The fugitive hunters take Casey to the border and hand her over to the U.S. authorities.
17:10Do you understand Casey that you've been deported from Mexico to the far of the air?
17:40Well, the imprisonment is longer than that.
17:47She looks like she wanted to punch somebody.
18:02She wants to kill someone who wants to kill someone.
18:09And she's a dangerous person because she can be done with lies.
18:12And what if she was armed?
18:13Yes, exactly.
18:14So you trust her, like, oh, poor girl.
18:17Boom.
18:18So you have to be alert.
18:19Exactly.
18:20The fugitive hunters have in custody the woman U.S. law enforcement believes is Joanne
18:45Chesimard, convicted of murder over 40 years ago.
18:52The FBI warrant lists a dozen aliases for Joanne Chesimard.
18:59The fugitive hunters take the suspect to the border and hand her over to U.S. law enforcement.
19:06She's been on the run like 40 years.
19:07The U.S. march here, we had to check the fingerprints.
19:19They are the ones who have all the profiles.
19:20Right now, she's going to be deported.
19:26Okay.
19:55Every document's in your hand.
19:57Hold them up. They're not that heavy. Hold them up.
20:01I can come back tonight.
20:03You can come back any day you want.
20:05If you don't have any problems over there, you can come back any day.
20:25The Fugitive Hunters just got a lead from US Law Enforcement about a fugitive they've arrested before.
20:55Emanuel Sanchez, from Orange County, California, was convicted of human trafficking two years ago,
21:05and he is currently wanted for parole violation.
21:08The agents have intel that he's been spotted at a house in Tijuana.
21:13They already have a home, they already saw it.
21:16Right now the plan is that we're going to make a vigilance to recognize the home.
21:21I wouldn't surprise me that this time they're armed.
21:23Armed, dangerous, and doesn't have much to lose.
21:26That makes you extra vulnerable.
21:30For all, the safety of you, right?
21:32They teach you something that's in risk of the lives of you,
21:34of your third-person friends, without saying anything.
21:37Flomo.
21:43Flomo.
21:48The agents head to the location.
21:50They'll set up a stakeout around the house where they believe Sanchez is hiding.
21:55Flomo.

22:42in their direction but it's not sanchez he's calling somebody it's a gamble if they go in
22:52and it's not him they blow their covers they blow the operation he will run they may never
22:58get another chance suddenly the agents notice smoke coming from the target house
23:12look at the flames they're fogger
23:30commander santiago calls the fire department and races to alert the neighbors
23:34oh my god the man in the house has disappeared
23:41commander santiago sends his agents out to find him
23:51the
24:01the baton said that he was going to get out of the water
24:03The agents find the man just a few blocks away from the burning house.
24:28The man refuses to give them any information about Sanchez.
24:35The fugitive hunters will turn him over to the local police on charges of arson.
24:45What happened?
24:50What were they making?
25:02Probably think they were coming for the bus to the lab and he panicked and he burned it.
25:11Did you underestimate him?
25:24So these guys were working for Emmanuel Sanchez.
25:27He's a bigger fish than you thought.
25:29This is one of the cases that take more time, but I have a lot of faith in that we will capture them.
25:38This is one of the cases that take more time, but I have a lot of faith in the world.
25:47The man is a man.
25:51The man is a man.
25:54The man is a man.
25:56The man is a man.
25:58The man is a man.
26:01The man is a man.
26:04In Tijuana, the fugitive hunters are out on a routine patrol.
26:25The man is a man.
26:30He's named Israel Kairi Toscano.
26:35He's called Israel Kairi Toscano.
26:38They're looking for a man named Israel Quarry Toscano.
26:44From Escondido, California.
26:47Nice little teardrop face tattoo.
26:5026-year-old Israel Toscano from Southern California is wanted by the U.S. Marshals for assault
26:58of a police officer while driving a stolen vehicle. He's been on the run for a year.
27:09Back at headquarters, with only a name and a photo from the Marshals, the team is gathering
27:14intel to try to locate Toscano.
27:44The commander sends out a second unit to help search the area where they believe Toscano
27:52may be hiding.
27:53They know a general area. They don't even have an exact address.
28:11On the outskirts of Tijuana, Vista Encantada is only four miles from the U.S. border.
28:24We're going to be taking a walk to see if we see it. And we're going to ask if we've seen
28:31it.
28:33We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:40We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:41We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:42We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:47We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:48We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:49We're going to ask if we've seen it.
28:54We're going to ask if we've seen it.
29:01We're going to ask if we've seen it.
29:07We're going to ask if we've seen it.
29:20The agent spends several hours canvassing the area for leads.
29:26We're going to ask if we've seen it.
29:41Here.
29:42Amigo.
29:43The state.
29:44What are you doing?
29:45Nothing.
29:46You see?
29:47You see?
29:48You see?
29:49Come on.
29:51We're going to look for a person.
29:54I don't know.
29:56If you see him, don't tell him.
30:11We're going to look for a guy.
30:13I'm going to show you a photo.
30:15It's known to me.
30:17I'm going to talk to you.
30:18I'm going to talk to you.
30:20They finally find someone who recognizes Toscano.
30:31He's seen him on a street nearby.
30:41The team meets back at headquarters
30:43to plan a stakeout for Toscano.
30:50It coincides with the one that we've passed
30:53where we possibly can stay.
30:55So we're going to confirm that.
30:57We're going to see a community in the world.
30:59Yes, at 4 or 5.
31:01We've passed on the street.
31:03We've passed on the street to the ground.
31:05We've passed on the street to the people.
31:0712 years later on.
31:36The fugitive hunters are searching for Israel Toscano,
31:40wanted by the U.S. Marshals,
31:42and believed to be armed and dangerous.
31:51But he was aggressive with the police.
31:53They tried to pull him over
31:54and allegedly crashed into the cop car,
31:57tried to run over one of the police
32:00and escaped from the American authorities
32:02as they were chasing him.
32:03And this is obviously not someone
32:06that is easily intimidated by the police.
32:26Two units stake out the street in Vista Encantada,
32:29where an eyewitness has seen Toscano walking.
32:33The agent's parked on the block.
32:41Her job tonight is to identify him.
32:44Where I am from, a teardrop tattoo means
32:59someone close to you was killed.
33:09Where I am from, a teardrop tattoo means
33:11someone close to you was killed.

39:31They tried saying I hired a highway patrol officer, which I didn't.
39:35I don't try and get it together even.

39:42to San Diego.

39:46How long have you been in Mexico now?
39:47For about a year.
39:48For about a year?
39:49Yeah.
39:50What was the hardest part of being on the run in Mexico?
39:53It's mostly like surviving the longest year.
39:55Like financially, or?
39:56Yeah, financially.
39:57You mean, because if you don't eat, then no one's going to give you a dollar.
40:01No one's going to help you out.
40:02Yeah.
40:03I'm losing my mom.
40:04My mom's dying on me.
40:05You hear me?

40:09Yeah.
40:10Did you know about this unit?
40:11No.
40:12Do you know what this unit does?
40:13No.
40:14They dedicate themselves to finding fugitives.
40:17I never knew they would be looking for me like that, you mean?
40:20I mean, I'm already looking at eight years, you mean.
40:23Do you think so?
40:24Yeah.
40:27I have a lot of charges.
40:30From vehicle, um, burglaries.
40:34Um, yeah, I'm just more worried about what's to come now.
40:40It's never easy, you know, seeing people emotional and afraid, but he knew it was coming.

42:17So that's right.

42:21You've got to run the same thing.
42:22You've got to kind of have to leave.
