Extraditions Between States - Colorado Criminal Attorney Specializing in Criminal Defense Law in Denver, Colorado
Extradition law in the United States is the formal process by which a fugitive found in one country or state is surrendered to another country or state for trial or punishment. For foreign countries the process is regulated by treaty and conducted between the Federal Government of the United States and the government of a foreign country. The process is considerably different from interstate extradition, or interstate rendition, as mandated by Article 4, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution.
The Extradition of Fugitives Clause in the Constitution requires States, upon demand of another State, deliver a fugitive of justice who has committed a “treason, felony or other crime” to be removed to the State from which the fugitive has fled. 18 U.S.C. Â§ 3182 sets the process by which an executive of a state, district or territory of the United States must arrest and turn over a fugitive from another state, district or territory.
In order for a person to be extradited interstate, 18 U.S.C. Â§ 3182 requires:
…such document must charge the fugitive demanded with having committed treason, felony, or other crime, and
…such document must be certified as authentic by the governor or chief magistrate of the state or territory from whence the person so charged has fled.
Cases of kidnapping by a parent to another state would be automatic involvement by the US Marshals department.
