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.
