Eight Mexicans were among the 22 victims of Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso, and Mexico is now exploring an unusual legal recourse: seeking the extradition of an American for a crime carried out on American soil.
Mexico has long used legal action to resolve international disputes, analysts say, but requesting the extradition of an American is unlikely to succeed as long as U.S. authorities continue pursuing a criminal case against the 21-year-old suspected shooter.
“At the end of the day, I would be very surprised if the U.S. government were to agree to it,” said John B. Bellinger III, who served as the State Department’s legal adviser under the George W. Bush administration.

I know that it is highly unlikely Mexico’s attempt to extradite the El Paso shooter out of the United States will be successful, but I actually support them in their efforts. Given the contents of the shooters tirade, calling it a manifesto is too polite, I believe it would be fitting for the El Paso to face Justice at the hands of the people he specifically targeted because of his twisted racial beliefs.

Mexico has abolished both the death penalty and life in prison. He’d be able to parole after like 15 years in Mex.https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...l-us-is-unlikely-hand-him-over/?noredirect=on

Mexico doesn’t have the death penalty or, I think, even life in prison. Texas will exact justice.
There's no legal justification for that at all; Mexico has no jurisdiction.

Why not? Canada arrested a Chinese tech executive at the request of the US to be extradicted on charges of violating US sanctions against Iran. She hadn't violated any Canadian laws, we were just honouring a treaty.
Got a problem with that? 15 years in a Mexican jail followed by extradition to Texas? I would have guessed that sounds like a win-win to most Americans.
edit- Hell, the mandatory appeals and such are liable to stretch out 15 years anyway.
If he dies he becomes a martyr, but I think it would be somewhat fitting if the man was put on trial in Mexico and have to endure the consequences of having his hateful manifesto read out in Spanish to people following the trial in Mexico.
If the prisons in Mexico are lacking in security, a prison sentence in Mexico may be a death sentence for the El Paso shooter, given that there might be people who may want to take their rage out on him, vigilante style.
I can imagine plenty of fresh avenues of appeal against a death sentence being opened on the basis of the defendant being threatened with or actually extradited to a foreign country prior to their US trial. Especially a country without robust protections for the accused and prison conditions that some might call tortureGot a problem with that? 15 years in a Mexican jail followed by extradition to Texas?

You have it backwards. The shooter didn't violate any Mexican laws, because he was not in Mexico.

El Chapo was not in the US
He was charged with crimes committed in the US.

But he was not in the US to commit those crimes was he
