Andrew and Tristan Tate are in U.S. federal custody after being arrested in Miami on a sealed warrant, and they appear in a federal court in Florida for the first time since their arrest on Saturday. British prosecutors have requested their extradition to the United Kingdom on allegations that include rape and sex trafficking. U.S. prosecutors describe “credible allegations” in court filings, including claims of repeated violent rape and physical assault tied to the U.K. charges. The brothers, who deny the allegations, face potential extradition, according to reporting from multiple outlets.

Their lawyers say they plan to fight the extradition request. One outlet reports that their attorney alleges the brothers have faced threats to their lives while held in a Miami jail pending the extradition process. Other coverage notes that a U.S. district judge is expected to consider whether extradition conditions are met in the coming weeks. Across the accounts, the process centers on court appearances in Miami, review of extradition requirements, and the formal handling of the U.K. allegations by U.S. authorities.
