Mini-Biography:
Victoria Castillo is a first-generation Mexican-American creative and on-camera talent from Santa Ana, California. She began as a photographer which has taken her far beyond the Southern California bubble, where her curiosity about people and cultures has driven her to explore and document life across the globe. Her ability to connect with diverse communities and tell authentic stories is informed by her rich cultural heritage, personal experiences, and deep interest in journalism, history, politics, law enforcement, true crime, and social justice. Castillo is working as a translator on the A&E docu-series, “Fugitive Hunters Mexico,” which follows a special undercover elite Mexican taskforce that carries out surveillance operations, arrests, processing, and deportations of criminal subjects. On camera, she translated real-time events, agent commentary, and talked with fugitives to uncover their stories.

About Fugitive Hunters Mexico:
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” 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.
