Extradition law in the United States can involve either extradition between the U.S. and a foreign country or interstate extradition between two of the states within the union. For extradition between the U.S. and foreign countries, the extradition process is regulated by treaty and conducted between the federal government and the foreign state, as discussed above. The process is considerably different from intrastate extradition, or interstate rendition, which is governed by Article 4, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. | Extradition law in the United States can involve either extradition between the U.S. and a foreign country or interstate extradition between two of the states within the union.
