Instead, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott effectively refused to extradite Castro, delaying a decision on the matter long enough that the state’s 90-day limit on detention for extradition warrants expired, prompting his automatic release. Because Castro had been in jail for three months, he was thus released this morning.

Actually insane that a governor can just protect a wanted criminal from another governor.

It’s a hidden confederacy.

So slap a bounty on his ass and send in the fucking bounty hunters already. They make about $65k a year, so $100k outta solve the problem real quick.

They don’t need to do that. Mexico is firmly against all these actions by trump and ice. I’m willing to bet that Mexico would put out a warrant and send him straight to Minnesota when they get him.

I'm guessing that Mexico doesn't have an extradition agreenent with the US. That doesn't mean they can't do a one-off on their own initiative.

???

Why would you think neighbors who until recently were fairly friendly by state standards don't have extradition treaties?

Maybe they've watched too many movies where getting across the border to Mexico was presented as the ultimate escape from US law?

Hmm you know that's a good point. I need an escape movie where the epilogue picks up and they get arrested by the federales.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

That's because they started doing bank robberies in Bolivia too but close

In my ignorant defence the article was speculating about running to Mexico. I do enjoy unrealistic movies though.

lol I’m sure they’ll be real welcomed in Mexico. I wonder how many will get decapitated
