Prosecutors want social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate to remain in federal custody, arguing Monday that the brothers are a flight risk and a danger to the community, as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking.
Three days after defense attorneys filed a motion for release, prosecutors filed their response in Miami federal court, where a hearing on Thursday will determine if the brothers should stay in jail or be released during what could be a monthslong extradition process.
The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

At least once that I'm aware of, but I'd certainly believe you if you said there were two other occasions

The U.S. is presumably in the process of fabricating a bogus case against these two despicable rapists so that it has a pretext for not extraditing them to a country where they would, in all likelihood, actually be convicted.

I think the UK has the right to pull a Trump Venezuela style operation.

"Social media influences"?
Funny way to spell "sex-trafficking slave-owning rapists"

Maybe they are going to be pardoned if convicted here in the US. Then awarded the metal of honor and considered for a Republican senate candidate.

UK will absolutely not give this up. Though I can envision a scenario where they are tried and pardoned in the US or are Epsteined.

So they both kill each other then commit suicide? Kind of like all those Russians who shoot themselves in the back before falling out of windows?

Just hearing that dweeb speak is enough wrongdoing for me.

Are these rapists/human-traffickers "social media influencers"? Interesting way to refer to them.
