This Article discusses extradition in America. The original authority for interstate extradition is the United States Constitution, which has been effectuated by Congress through federal statute. However, the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (U.C.E.A.) permits extradition under circumstances and through procedures not articulated in the federal statute.
Extradition is the removal of a person (fugitive) from the state in which he is physically located (asylum state) to the state that requests him to face criminal charges or punishment (demanding state). Florida statute 941 allows the state to request extradition from anywhere in the Unites States.
