An ICE officer who had been dodging extradition to Minnesota was arrested by Minnesota police one day before his scheduled federal criminal court appearance, according to Techdirt. The officer had apparently avoided extradition for some time before being taken into state custody.
His lawyer argued that the arrest amounted to a surrender, a characterization the Techdirt article rejects. The article notes that the officer was in state custody just a day before his federal court date.
The case highlights how state and federal law enforcement can intersect when a federal officer faces state charges. It also shows that avoiding extradition does not necessarily prevent an arrest by the authorities seeking custody.
