Judge Neringa Venckiene might be sent back

In 2013, Neringa Venckiene, a Lithuanian Member of Parliament and former judge, fled Lithuania with her 13-year-old son in fear for her life. She applied for political asylum in the U.S.

In 2018, after learning that American authorities were seeking her arrest for extradition by the request of the Lithuanian Government, judge Venckiene turned herself in and has been detained ever since. The State Department authorized her extradition despite not hearing her asylum case. US judges who heard her appeal agreed that the charges against her appear political, but the extradition treaty binds their hands.
