A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To extradite is to transfer a person who is in jail from one place to another so that they can be punished for crimes they committed in the other place.

For example, if someone commits a crime in California and then flees to Texas, California can request that Texas extradite the person back to California to face charges.

Extradition can happen between different states in the United States or between different countries. The rules and procedures for extradition vary depending on the location.

In the United States, extradition between states is governed by the Extradition Clause in the Constitution and the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act. Most requests for extradition between states must be honored, but there are some grounds on which requests might be denied.

Internationally, most countries will not grant a request for extradition if the alleged crime is not also illegal in their country. Additionally, many countries have a political-offense exception, which means they will not extradite someone for a crime that is considered political.

Example: The United States has requested the extradition of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, from the United Kingdom to face charges of violating the Espionage Act. The UK has granted the request, but Assange's legal team is fighting the extradition.

This example illustrates how extradition can happen between different countries and how the process can be complicated and involve legal challenges.
