Tate Brothers Face Detention Hearing As They Fight U.K. Extradition
6 hours ago
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate are due in federal court in Miami Thursday as a judge considers whether they should remain behind bars while fighting extradition to the United Kingdom.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis is expected to hear arguments from federal prosecutors and attorneys for the brothers before deciding whether they should remain in custody or be released during an extradition process that could last months.
Prosecutors argue the Tates pose a flight risk and a danger to the community. The brothers were arrested July 18 and have remained at the Federal Detention Center in Miami.
British authorities are seeking their extradition over allegations of rape and sex trafficking. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Thursday's hearing is expected to mark the first time the Tates have left the federal detention center since a brief court appearance two days after their arrest.
