Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Have they been extradited yet? I feel like the longer they’re in the US the more likely Trump is going to step in to pardon them — it’s federal and therefore possible right?
They aren't being charged in the US, they're being charged in the UK. They're dual citizens. I guess trump could stop them from being extradited? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwymly9yd33o
The president can’t pardon crimes another country is prosecuting.
well, not with that attitude, certainly. but have you considered that no one in charge gives a shit about the law?
He could wave a pen, say they’re pardoned and refuse to extradite. But they still could never travel to the UK or any other nation that extradites to the UK.
They fled to the US for amnesty because they don't intend to do so, but it would sour the American relationship with the UK even further
Wouldn't be the first time Trump refused to extradite to the UK. There was that diplomat's wife who killed a kid by driving on the wrong side of the road in the UK. She fled and Trump refused extradition
Clearly the plan didn’t work considering US Marshals did in fact arrest them.
Doesn't really seem "on brand" for Trump.
He might have a lot in common with these scum bags but that's not enough for him to act - there's nothing in it for him.
They're also headed to jail, which is the wrong direction for Trump. He will hitch his wagon to anyone who is popular and successful like Mandani, regardless of ideology. He avoids anyone who has fallen from grace, like these two.
The only reason he pardoned the Jan 6 insurrectionists is because he may need to rely on similar support in future.
The idea being you can pardon someone of another jurisdiction's crimes...? I need to smoke another bowl apparently
Always a correct conclusion on this fucky timeline
This doesn't make sense.
You extradite someone if they have charges in another jurisdiction. Presidential pardons would only apply to (federal) US charges.
Hey, if you can steer a hurricane with a Sharpie...
I mean I feel like Trump would step in to block their extradition, not magically drop their charges in other countries.
