Think about it, once a US citizen gets handed over to foreign law enforcement, that US citizen’s rights are completely nullified since they are no longer in the custody of US authorities. That US citizen would be at the mercy of that foreign law enforcement agency. That could be a problem if it’s a country that is known for human rights violations.
Technically the US government can only extradite US citizens to countries that the US has extradition treaties with but quite a few of those countries are known for human rights violations. And even though the US government is less likely to extradite a US citizen to a country if they know their rights will be violated, that US citizen can still be extradited to said country. Even more appalling is how the US government can also make exceptions and extradite US citizens to countries whom the US has no extradition treaties with, including authoritarian countries.
Furthermore, what if an innocent US citizen gets wrongly accused and gets extradited to a country he or she never set foot on based on a misunderstanding like a mistake from the authorities? That’s unacceptable.
Second of all, I never said that a perp committing a crime on foreign soil shouldn’t be punished. Instead that perp should be tried and inprisoned in his or her home country in accordance to his or her home country’s laws. The only way that a perp should be tried in a foreign country is if he or she gets caught while he or she is in that country.
Only commies think that it’s a “good” thing for a country to extradite it’s own citizens
