Does anyone really think DeSantis will allow him to be extradited?
(Legal eagles, if I'm wrong, please correct me)

(109,263 posts)the extradition documents facially are not in order;
the person has not been charged with a crime in the demanding state;
the person is not the person named in the extradition documents; or
the person is not a fugitive.
There appears to be at least one additional exception: if the fugitive is under sentence in the asylum state, he need not be extradited until his punishment in the asylum state is completed.[6]

(8,926 posts)...they (the local police) say that they were going to call in someone at the federal level -- I believe the U.S. Marshalls, but I could be wrong -- to apprehend a suspect that had fled to another state and was hiding out there.
So, I'm not sure DeSantis has any say in the matter really if such a suspect can be apprehended by the feds and returned to the charging state.

(109,263 posts)But if you read the summary of the statute I posted earlier-- for non-fleeing interstate extradition (i.e., normal circumstances of extradition per warrant), DeSantos has only limited authorities to deny--and absolutely none of which would apply to a Trump extradition.

(8,926 posts)If Trump is charged in Georgia and then leaves Florida to attend a rally in Virginia, would that be considered "fleeing" here? Or would it only be considered "fleeing" if he were in Georgia and then left?

(45,138 posts)What makes Trump a fugitive from Georgia? He hasn't left Georgia and fled to Florida . He wasn't in Georgia when the criminal activity took place.
