    Extradition treaties have to be negotiated. You can’t just stick 50,000 people on a bunch of airplanes to Caracas and drop them off.

      Maybe not at this scale, but Republicans have already been bussing and flying people for a while now. Martha’s Vineyard ring any bells. This isn’t extradition, it’s deportation. They just just want these people out of their hometowns.

      Extradition is if you commit a crime and flee to a different country, the first country can demand the second country send them back to stand trial. Sorry you have your terms mixed up. But anyways, don’t think you can turn back your own citizens. That’s kinda the whole point of citizenship.
