UPDATE:

The final extradition hearings for Andrew and Tristan Tate are proposed for November 19 and 20.

The government wants two separate hearings on two separate days. We want one hearing for both brothers.

The government opposes consolidation, a joint hearing, and even letting Andrew attend Tristan’s hearing, or Tristan attend Andrew’s.

Divide and conquer.

The government also says we declined its protective order. CORRECT.

We still don’t have the name of any accuser.

The UK redacted and hid the accusers’ names in its extradition requests before sending them to the United States.

And the government admits it does not have the names.

Did our government even ask for them??

WE DEMAND THEM.

Instead, our government redacted additional information and told us we could peek only if we signed its strangulation order.

HARD PASS.

No names. No extradition.

FREE ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE

[Joe McBride @McBrideLawNYC]

ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE PETITION MIAMI FEDERAL COURT FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, CHALLENGE DETENTION WITHOUT BAIL AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

(MIAMI, FL) Today, Andrew and Tristan Tate filed a 67-page Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Tate v. Blanche, Case No. 1:26-cv-27049, under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

The petition seeks the immediate release of Andrew and Tristan on reasonable bond conditions and vacatur of the Order of Detention entered by Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis. The respondents are Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Florida Priscilla Perez Lopez, and E.K. Carlton, Warden of the Federal Detention Center in Miami (FDC Miami).

Andrew and Tristan, dual United States and United Kingdom citizens with no criminal history and no criminal charges pending in the United States, were arrested in Miami on July 18, 2026, on complaints for provisional arrest filed by the United States at the United Kingdom’s request.

Following a detention hearing on August 27, 2026, Magistrate Judge Louis denied bail, concluding that Andrew and Tristan had “failed to meet their burdens to demonstrate entitlement to release under either standard.” Andrew and Tristan have been held in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at FDC Miami since July 18.

The government filed a redacted copy of the United Kingdom’s formal extradition request on October 5, 2026. No extradition hearing has been scheduled.

“Andrew and Tristan are American citizens with no criminal history, and they have spent every day since July 18 in the Special Housing Unit at FDC Miami, without a single disciplinary infraction, at the request of a foreign government, on allegations about a decade old,” said Joseph D. McBride, attorney and spokesperson for Andrew and Tristan Tate.

“Romanian authorities supervised my clients for more than three years, and the Romanian prosecutor found that they rigorously complied with the obligations imposed on them. The United Kingdom already holds a Romanian order for their surrender. There was no urgent situation in July, and there is none today.

“Since 1789, federal law has provided that a person arrested for a non-capital offense shall be admitted to bail. The presumption against bail in extradition cases comes from a misreading of a single passage in a 1903 decision, and in 123 years no discernible standard has developed for overcoming it.

“My clients are innocent, and they intend to vindicate their names in a British court. Until then, the Constitution of the United States governs their detention. Live free or die.”

Andrew and Tristan argue that extradition proceedings are criminal in nature, that federal law has treated bail as the norm in criminal cases since the Judiciary Act of 1789, and that the government, not the extraditee, should bear the burden of proving flight risk or danger to the community.

The petition argues that federal courts have misread the Supreme Court’s 1903 decision in Wright v. Henkel as creating a strong presumption against bail, when the decision confirmed that courts may set bail in extradition cases. In the 123 years since, no discernible standard has developed to define the “special circumstances” an extraditee must show to overcome that presumption.

The petition argues that the presumption violates the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Bail Clause and the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, because it is applied arbitrarily without intelligible standards and because it disregards the presumption of innocence.

In the alternative, the petition contends that Magistrate Judge Louis erred in finding that Andrew and Tristan failed to show they pose no risk of flight or danger to the community, and in rejecting the special circumstances they presented.

On flight risk, the petition relies on Andrew and Tristan’s record in Romania, where they spent 1,193 days in detention, then house arrest, then judicial supervision.

On February 25, 2025, the Romanian prosecutor lifted the restrictions prohibiting Andrew and Tristan from leaving Romania, finding that Andrew and Tristan had “rigorously complied” with the obligations imposed and that “there are no plausible reasons to consider that they would have any intention of evading criminal prosecution and trial.”

Andrew and Tristan then traveled internationally and returned to Romania to report as required.

The petition argues that no diplomatic necessity requires detention, because the United Kingdom already holds a Romanian order for Andrew and Tristan’s surrender.

On March 12, 2024, the Bucharest Court of Appeal heard the United Kingdom’s request on the same January 19, 2024, warrants now before the Miami court, granted the request for surrender, and postponed surrender until the conclusion of the Romanian criminal case.

For more than two years, the United Kingdom respected that order. The United Kingdom’s access to Andrew and Tristan does not depend on their detention in Miami.

In the United Kingdom itself, rape is a bailable offense, and the governing rule for a defendant not yet convicted is a presumption in favor of bail.

A defendant in the United Kingdom whose extradition the United States sought for rape would be entitled to that presumption. The petition argues that where the requesting country grants bail, any diplomatic concern arising from release by a United States court is substantially diminished.

The extradition treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom authorizes provisional arrest “[i]n an urgent situation.” The petition states that neither the government’s sworn complaint nor its detention memorandum identifies any facts constituting an urgent situation.

The United Kingdom issued its warrants more than two years before the Miami arrest, for conduct alleged to have occurred about a decade before that. Beginning in March 2024, Andrew and Tristan’s English solicitors corresponded directly with Bedfordshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service about these very charges.

Four days before the arrest, Andrew and Tristan publicly posted their location at the United States Capitol. Deputy U.S. Marshals did not have to search for Andrew and Tristan. The marshals attended a publicly advertised boxing match in downtown Miami where Andrew and Tristan were scheduled to appear.

The petition argues that the lack of genuine urgency, together with a documented record of appearance and compliance, supports the special circumstances warranting release.

The petition also challenges probable cause.

According to the United Kingdom’s formal extradition requests, the last alleged conduct occurred on August 18, 2017, and no complainant contacted the police until August 2022.

Three of the complainants did not report to the police; the police solicited information from them. Four of the complainants admit that sex within their relationships with Andrew or Tristan was consensual, in whole or in part.

Under Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, rape requires that the defendant did not reasonably believe there was consent, and the petition argues that the United Kingdom’s own submissions raise substantial questions about whether the alleged conduct was criminal.

The petition argues that due process requires release because Andrew and Tristan are held in highly restrictive conditions of confinement, without probable cause, for an indefinite period.

Without any disciplinary sanction, Andrew and Tristan are in the SHU as a protective measure based solely on their notoriety.

According to a supervisory attorney at the Bureau of Prisons, the conditions there are five hours of recreation per week, one phone call per month, commissary access once every two weeks, and no television. FDC Miami denied counsel’s written request for non-SHU housing.

ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE HAVE NOW BEEN INCARCERATED IN THE UNITED STATES FOR 80 DAYS.

Not-So-Great Britain redacted every accuser's name from its extradition requests before sending them to the United States.

Britain demands their extradition, and the United States Government is pursuing it on allegations reaching back to 2010, even though no American prosecutor can identify a single accuser behind them.

Secret accusers.

Unseen evidence.

THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT.

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

I’m in jail because the UK government ordered America to throw me in federal prison…

The UK won’t tell me who I supposedly committed any crimes against. Crimes that date back to 15 years ago. No names.

Specters. Ghosts.

Now, the UK has confirmed to the DoJ they won’t tell the USA government the names either!

Nobody, not even the USA government knows who these people are.

Yet I am still in federal prison.

This is insane.

I WANT the world to see the evidence against me.

If I was guilty, if there was horrible looking evidence, why would I be begging for my file to be shown to the world?

Why is the UK government fighting to HIDE the evidence against me?

Surely they want the world to see how evil I am?

They have NO evidence.

They want to seal the files to hide the weak case.

They want the public to see NOTHING but the lies the media prints.

Innocent men don’t hide. Guilty governments do.

SHOW MY FILE TO THE WORLD.

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

I have spent 73 days locked inside the SHU.

As of writing this letter, the U.K. has requested the "evidence" against me to be sealed from the public.

They do not want you to see the "evidence" against me.

Why?

Because I am an innocent man, locked in a cell, at the request of a government that hates me.

MAKE MY FILE PUBLIC. LET THE WORLD SEE WHY I AM IN HERE.

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

As the state drag an English father away from his children under the charge of "recklessly endangering lives".

Another 781 invaders were chaperoned in yesterday.

It's the British government recklessly endangering lives, the lives of the whole nation!

[Joe McBride @McBrideLawNYC]

It has been 66 days since Andrew and Tristan Tate were thrown into a SHU cell on UK allegations that have yet to be substantiated or corroborated.

We have said from the beginning that this is a political hit job designed to punish two American citizens for exercising their right to free speech.

To those of you who dislike the Tate brothers' message: what will it take for you to admit these men are being held without proof?

Does it have to happen to you or someone you love before it is wrong?

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Speak up now.

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

Senior management at FDC Miami seems to believe they can intimidate me into silence.

It will not work.

What is happening here, should not be allowed to happen to others.

Thank God I am here to witness it.

The world will learn what happens to the detainees here.

@OfficialFBOP

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

My situation is deteriorating.

Despite spending 61 days in the SHU, the punitive unit for inmates who attack other prisoners and guards, I have once again had my conditions downgraded.

Since the time I have come into this jail I have been forced to endure punitive housing.

During my time here, I have watched men come and go, men who have stabbed other inmates.

These men are only forced to stay in these cells for 7 days until rereleased to general population.

I have been here for 61 days and counting.

Today, I was informed that I was finally changing cells.

However, I was moved to another cell inside the same SHU unit in far worse condition than my past one.

I no longer have hot water of any kind.
I no longer have air conditioning of any kind.
I have a serious roach infestation, with 10/15 visible roaches on the ceiling and walls at any one time no matter how many I kill.

I have stone-cold water and filth. That’s it. NOTHING else.

My last cell was already the minimum which could be attributed to me inside of this prison, they’ve found a WORSE cell and forced me to move.

There is absolutely no reason for this to be happening.

I understand FDC Miami has received thousands of complaints due to the conditions they house inmates in.

I understand that after large-scale protests, ICE detainees are no longer held in the SHU unit because of the damage done to their physical and mental health. So illegals are too good for these rooms, but I’m in one.

I, an American citizen, here legally, with zero criminal record globally and no accusations of crime in the United States, am held in the SHU unit.

This is a cruel and unusual punishment. This violates civil rights.

This is being done to me on purpose.

I have done nothing but show respect to every single guard. I have been kind to everyone. I have sat in the SHU for 61 days, longer than anyone currently in custody, sitting in the dark and filth focused on my breathing. I have endured.

Yet they do not respect me for this, in fact the senior staff sees me as a fool for being patient and respectful. As prisoners who flood cells and attack guards get moved to better conditions and I am ignored.

I have repeatedly requested the attention of senior staff regarding my conditions who are now refusing to talk to me. Last time their attention was requested he apparently replied “fuck that guy”

Why? I've only been nice to him. I called him sir. I smile and nod my head. I've done nothing to this man which could be considered negative by the furthest stretch of any imagination.

The last time he spoke to me, was two weeks ago, when during Rec he stormed into the yard with other guards, handcuffed me and Tristan behind our backs and screamed in our faces.

He screamed with rage, as if somebody kicked his dog, foaming at the mouth… because we had extra books in our cell. He lost his mind over books. I've never seen a man so angry, over a book.

I felt sorry for him.

Tristan and I said nothing and apologized despite the fact it was pathetic.

I haven’t seen him since, and he’s downgrading my conditions and leaving me to rot.

I would like to add there are good staff here, hard-working men and women who know what is happening to me is unfair and understand this place isn’t fit for humans. They repeatedly apologize to me and state that the senior staff have never treated other high-profile prisoners this way. I'm the only one.

Nobody knows the reason why this is happening. But someone is ordering it. This is my life, I am living it and it is brutal.

I have been left with no choice but to take legal action against FDC Miami for the conditions of my confinement. This is a civil rights issue. I do not ask for special treatment.

I asked to be treated the same as any other prisoner and American citizen.

In fact, I ask to be treated as well as an ILLEGAL.

Not only am I in jail, I have been downgraded by 95% from what normal prisoners receive.

I have prepared a package, currently with my legal and PR teams, of every single infraction I have witnessed in this facility. The corruption, the lack of recreation, the filth, the unsanitary conditions.

ANYONE who has previously complained against this facility can contact my legal team. I understand they have tortured thousands of people, and all of them were not even treated as badly as I am being treated.

There is no ambiguity here - what is happening to me is against the law.

There is absolutely no reason for FDC to be treating men this way, whether they are American citizens or otherwise. They are deliberately torturing me.

The Romanians treated me better than this.

To all Main Stream News outlets, if you want to understand why this facility received thousands of complaints, I have the story and the proof - contact my team immediately.

I would never kill myself.

[Joe McBride @McBrideLawNYC]

WE'RE IN HELL

Andrew and Tristan were moved into a roach-infested cell with no AC and no hot water.

This is pure retaliation for their refusal to surrender to England.

This is illegal punishment. Absolute cruelty. A violation of human rights.

Contact your Congressman now.

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

Tristan: I’m super glad I’m here.

Me: Why

Tristan: My life purpose wasn’t to have 10 kids or get rich or even be famous, I never cared about any of that.

I just wanted to make sure you’re ok.

So I’m glad I’m in here with you.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Following the illegal immigration protests, Farage has just announced in the Telegraph the Reform policy of banning those balaclavas and other face coverings - he calls the coverings a ‘menace’.

A remarkably tone-deaf reaction to such effective peaceful protests.

He says there will be those that ‘will inevitably bleat about civil liberties and personal freedom’.

Yes. Yes, there will be.

Because what will happen to a young working class lad who goes on one of these peaceful protests? He will get dragged out across social media, the mob will hound his place of work, he will have his life ruined. That’s not the worst case scenario, either.

That is a knock on the door at 3am, and then prison. Unfairly locked up, for months and months.

Farage has all the wealth anyone can want. He can protect himself when expressing his opinion. I can do the same. I know that.

A young plumber? Bricklayer? Factory worker? They can’t. They have a wage packet they cannot afford to lose.

It's their communities that have been bastardised, their streets colonised, their town overrun.

I'll be honest. I don't witness the consequences in the same way as working class communities do. Neither does Farage. THAT is why these men are so pissed off. Rightly so. THEY are the ones who have to live with the decisions. Not us. Not the MPs. Them. Their families, and their communities.

For them, anonymity may be the difference between exercising their democratic rights and staying at home through fear of losing their job.

I don’t like face coverings. I hate seeing them. But I hate the invasion FAR more, and if new lawful methods manage to make progress where politicians have failed, then that is a price worth paying.

We are living in a very different Britain now. That's just a fact.

A peaceful protester should not be forced to surrender his anonymity merely because politicians dislike their lawful methods and it makes them feel a bit uncomfortable.

Get over it, to be honest.

Civil liberties and personal freedoms matter - they matter most when defending people without Farage’s money, platform or protection.

Reform’s reaction to these protests has been arrogant and offensive. Farage labelled them ‘disgusting’, Tice said they were ‘disgraceful’ and Jenrick said the police need to be ‘as robust as possible’ against the protestors - if Reform were in power, the police would have been all over these men.

That is EXACTLY why they covered their faces.

Their concerns perfectly outlined by the Reform leadership.

Farage says the coverings at the protests are ‘not the British way’. We tried that, and it didn’t work. Until an election, it won’t work. The protests worked. They did not stop the boats, but they worked. Galvanising a nation against the invasion that we all want to end.

Face coverings are worn on every city street, every day. Yet it takes an illegal migrant protest for Farage to make a huge deal about the ban being Reform policy.

These working class men and women have every right to lawfully make their voices heard, and Restore Britain stands with them.

The right to peaceful protest cannot become a privilege reserved for people wealthy enough to survive being publicly identified.

I will defend that right, and Restore Britain will defend that right.

[Andrew Tate @Cobratate]

I can’t get over the support I’ve received. Endless letters and protests, somebody always outside my window. Makes me emotional.

The world sees what’s happening to me.

I love you all.
