Talk:Extradition law in the United States

message: Parts of this article seem to be based on outdated information.  For example, the US has diplomatic relations with Vietnam since 1995, yet this article indicates that it does not. DHN 20:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Out of date? 

message: Where did the original info for this article come from? It is quite peculiar, for example including "Bantu Homelands", Ciskei, and Transkei, as countries with which the U.S. does not have an extradition treaty. It's as if the article is based on information that is outdated by 25 years. --Mathew5000 10:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bantu Homelands, in particular, is enough of a non-entity to have no article in the English Wikipedia, which to my way of thinking is a pretty rigorous proof of its obscurity.  I can't imagine it would be recognized as a sovereign state by any major nation and yet *not* have an article.  Most of the world's subnational entities (states, provinces, prefectures, whatever you want to call them) and for that matter a fair percentage of the cities have Wikipedia articles.  Disputed areas generally have articles about the dispute.  "Bantu Homelands", unless I'm missing something, appears to be neither sovereign nor disputed.  Why on earth would it be listed as a "country" that the US doesn't have relations with?  I'm deleting it.  If you put it back, please include a verifiable reference to, at minimum, its *existence*. --Jonadab, 2009 March 29th.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.236.61 (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources? 

message: For what it's worth, the US State Dept publishes a list of Independent States of the World  and indicates on the list whether the country has diplomatic relations with the US. Some prior versions of that list are at the Internet archive. Contrary to what Wikipedia says in this article, the US does have diplomatic relations with the following countries: Andorra, Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Libya, Maldives, Serbia and Montenegro, Somalia, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. --Mathew5000 10:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for noticing, I must have been working off some old data.  I made the changes to the countries without treaties and diplomatic relations.  I now have to go through all of the countries individually and find which countries have treaties because the Department of State does not provide a list of countries with extradition treaties. Any help you could give would be appreciated.  --Assawyer 20:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Are US citizens ever extradited? 

message: The article currently states with no citation that Missouri and South Carolina haven't adopted it.  When I went looking for a citation for this and the best one I found was here.  However, this may be wrong.  MO appears to have adopted it as  548. "The Missouri General Assembly enacted, and on July 8, 1953, the Governor approved the "Uniform Criminal Extradition Act," RSMo 1953 Supplement, Chapter 548, which added thirty new sections to Chapter *41 548, RSMo 1949, V.A.M.S., relating to Extradition." source
Another source states "Mississippi and South Carolina." 
Another source says "South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi are the exceptions."  This might be correct.  I looked up all three and they don't look like UCEA.  I can't find a great WP:SECONDARY source, but this government doc from Virginia perhaps?  I could not find any other states mentioned in any other web search.
Given the disagreement among sources, I'm changing the text not to read like an exhaustive list, and to include probable corrections above.  Also, change to clarify they do have other extradition laws.  (I am not a lawyer.  This could possibly still use better sources.) Foonix0 (talk) 09:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
