No extradition treaty. It won't matter at all. Republicans won't even respond.

I thought we both honored interpol
We do

That’s historically very conditional and political.
Many countries reject all American requests simply because the death penalty isn’t banned. Or because our appeals process is too complex/expensive.
No chance someone in office is extradited. That’s an easy one to deny.

But this is the other way around. Brazil is asking for the USA to give Santos back. Santos isn't in danger of the death penalty.
If the USA was asking for Santos then Brazil can say no cause of the death penalty.

US can just say “human rights” which for Brazil’s legal system is a realistic complaint.
0 chance he’d get extradited. Odds are low even for an ordinary citizen unless there’s a high value arrest we want in exchange. For a politician in office? 0.

Ok but the original comment i was responding to was that there is an extradition treaty. They said there wasn't.
Whether it happens or not is another conversation. That's a debate on how Biden and Lula would handle it.
