In the one year since President Trump took office several countries have stated they will resume extraditions to the United States. The two most notable are Honduras and Costa Rica. Extradition cases generally go to New York, Miami, Sherman or Los Angeles/San Diego. The reason for Sherman is because it is mostly a white non-diverse jury pool for which one prosecutor bragged “we can get longer sentences here.” Thus, in 2026, the number of extraditions are likely to increase along with increased targeting of individuals in Central and South America. Venezuela is likely to be extraditing persons soon additionally. While there is no way to find out if there is a pending indictment for a person not in custody, if you think you might be targeted for prior drug activity it is best to contact an attorney who can best advise you on how to minimize or negate the risk of being extradited.
