I wonder how this will play out vis-a-vis Julian Assange's extradition. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-51075235 The United States has criticised the UK's request to extradite an American accused of killing motorcyclist Harry Dunn, calling it "highly inappropriate". Mr Dunn, 19, died after being hit by a car allegedly driven by suspect Anne Sacoolas, who left the country for the US claiming diplomatic immunity. The Home Office submitted a request on Friday to extradite her to the UK. Dunn family spokesman Radd Seiger said she will "100% be coming back". "I have no doubt in my mind, the only thing I can't tell you is when," he told BBC Breakfast. "This campaign won't stop until Anne Sacoolas is back in the UK facing the justice system. There is no celebration and until she is back, we won't rest. "This lady is accused of taking Harry's life, then fleeing the country. No-one is above the law in modern society. You don't get to move to a country, break a law in that country and then leave." Mr Seiger said that under the circumstances, the family was "really pleased" the UK authorities had taken the "huge step towards justice", but if the Trump administration was to ignore or reject the request, it would be re-presented should another administration come into power.
