In Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2 of the US Constitution, the interstate rendition of fugitives was established. Beginning in 1793, other laws were enacted to support this clause.

Generally, it states that the executive authority of a state may order that an indicted suspect or fugitive be returned to face charges in that state, in the jurisdiction in which a crime was committed. Conflicts with this can occur where more than one state has a legitimate claim on the individual involved.

The precedent to blocking extradition in Kentucky v. Dennison (based on slavery, 1861) was reversed by the US Supreme Court in Puerto Rico v. Branstad in 1987.
