The Constitution
extradition
Returning a person charged with a crime to the state or country where the charge is pending. Between states, the Constitution makes it obligatory.
In full
Article IV requires a state to deliver up a fugitive on demand from the state where the crime is charged, and the Supreme Court held in 1987 that federal courts may compel compliance. International extradition is different: it depends on treaties, generally excludes political offenses, and often bars surrender where the death penalty may be imposed.
