Mexican law protects U.S. copkillers and bailjumpers. Dog is a U.S. citizen following U.S. law and arrested a bail- jumper in Mexico. Now U.S. bureaucrats are going to turn him (a U.S. citizen) over to corrupt Mexican officials? I say that any magistrate, judge, and bureaucrats involved should be named and fired - they can apply for new jobs in Mexico.

"Dog is a U.S. citizen following U.S. law and arrested a bail- jumper in Mexico."

Dog has no arrest powers beyond the territorial limits of the United States. (See Reese v. United States, 76 U.S. at 21). Further, Mexico is a soverign nation. U.S. law does not apply in Mexico and Chapman violated Mexican law. End of story.......
