U.S. prosecutors want Tate brothers to remain in custody as they fight extradition to the U.K.
U.S. prosecutors are seeking to keep Andrew and Tristan Tate in federal custody while they fight extradition to the U.K. on charges of rape and human trafficking. A hearing is scheduled to determine if they remain detained due to flight risk concerns.
Why it matters
The case involves high-profile internet personalities and raises significant questions regarding international legal cooperation and extradition procedures.
Prosecutors want social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate to remain in federal custody, arguing Monday (August 10, 2026) 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 (August 13) 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.
