Each week, Discovery broadcasts live from its New York-based studio, where host Bill Weir tracks the action and stories as they unfold live from the U.S.-Mexico border.

Discovery will also be on-the-ground with law enforcement offices in Texas including the City of San Juan Police Department and Cameron County Sheriff's Office as well as in Arizona with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. Veteran investigative journalist Lilia Luciano is also be immersed in the field and tackles stories by interviewing a tapestry of people who live and work along the border.
