The article discusses Netflix's upcoming series 'Los Gringo Hunters,' inspired by the real-life International Liaison Unit in Baja California, which targets American criminals in Mexico. This unit seeks to counter the perception of Mexico as a refuge for criminals, specifically focusing on white men with criminal records escaping their legal troubles in the U.S. Producers Rafael Ley and Stacy Perskie emphasize the importance of showcasing this narrative as an engaging take on the action genre. The series will also explore the tensions of local initiatives to improve Tijuana amidst ongoing criminal activities.
Since Donald Trump's rise to power, the criminalization of irregular immigration has become a constant. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has dedicated itself to pursuing, arresting, and deporting the undocumented Latino community.
What if there were an alternate reality? One in which a Baja California police unit is dedicated to arresting and deporting white men with a proven criminal record back north of the border.
It's interesting that there's this team that proves otherwise and is dedicated to capturing them and returning them to face the consequences of their crimes.
Netflix is using this name for its new production, inspired by true events, which premieres on July 9.
