Escalation: Miami court commences extradition proceedings against Tate brothers

On July 22, 2026, Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami, Florida, after U.K. authorities asked the U.S. to detain them for extradition. U.S. extradition proceedings began the same day.

The brothers are wanted in the United Kingdom on allegations including rape, sex trafficking, and other offenses, according to the request outlined in the report.

Extradition is the legal process where one country asks another to hand over a suspect to face charges. A U.S. court reviews the request and evidence to decide if the transfer can go ahead.

The arrests start their legal fight in the United States over whether they will be sent to Britain to face the listed sex crime charges.
