the federal government could not force a state governor to return a fugitive
As of my last update, Angola does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. This means that the U.S. may face challenges in seeking the extradition of individuals from Angola who are wanted for prosecution or to serve sentences. However, extradition cases can still be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the circumstances involved.
'Extradition' is a term describing the legal process by which a wanted individual is removed from the apprehending jurisdiction to face legal action for offenses he committed in another jurisdiction. (i.e.- you commit an offense in Texas but are arrested by Oklahoma - you are held in custody in Oklahoma until you either 'waive extradition' and voluntarily agree to return to Texas, or are held until Texas files extradition proceedings against you in Oklahoma's court system.)
I believe that the answer will be yes. All NATO nations subscribe to international extradition treaties with the only proviso being that some (but not all) would not allow extradition for any cases which could be punished by the death penalty.
Violent Cases was created in 1987.
The purpose - is to recover a wanted criminal to the country asking for the extradition - so they can stand trial for their crimes.
One county within the same state will honor another county's arrest warrant and hold you until they come to transport you back to the county that wants you. The actual legal act defined as "extradition" doesn't come into play in INTRAstate removals. Extradition only applies to INTERstate removals.

Yes, New Zealand has extradition laws governed by the Extradition Act 1999. This legislation outlines the process for extraditing individuals to and from New Zealand, allowing for cooperation with other countries based on bilateral treaties or reciprocal arrangements. Extradition may be granted for offenses that are recognized in both jurisdictions, provided certain legal criteria are met. However, New Zealand also has safeguards to protect individuals from extradition in cases involving potential human rights violations or unfair treatment.
the ruling allowed the federal government to force a governor to return a fugitive. -EVA :)
No, it has extradition.
Realistically, in the budget crunch that all states are undergoing these days, they MAY not want to bother with bringing you back for a misdemeanor offense - HOWEVER - that being said - it cannot be 100% counted on to save you. All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.
