Federal Detention Center

A federal judge in Miami postponed a hearing regarding whether Andrew and Tristan Tate should remain in custody while they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where they are accused of rape and sex trafficking. The postponement was granted because the Tates’ lawyers needed more time to respond to prosecutors' arguments. While the U.S. Attorney’s Office argues for continued detention due to international charges, the brothers' attorneys countered by noting their compliance with pretrial restrictions.
