Can you be extridited to us from Puerto Rico?

Yes, a person can be extradited from Puerto Rico to the United States. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and is subject to the extradition laws of the United States. The process for extradition from Puerto Rico to the United States is similar to the process for extradition between two states in the United States.

The extradition process begins when the state or country requesting extradition files a petition with the governor of Puerto Rico. The petition must include certain information, such as the name of the person being sought, the charges against the person, and the supporting evidence.

If the governor of Puerto Rico finds that the petition meets the requirements of the law, the governor will issue an arrest warrant for the person being sought. The person will then be taken into custody and brought before a judge in Puerto Rico. The judge will hear evidence from both the state requesting extradition and the person being sought. If the judge finds that there is probable cause to believe that the person being sought committed the crime charged, the judge will order the person to be extradited.

The person being extradited will then be transported to the state or country requesting extradition. The person will then be tried for the crime charged in that state or country.
