Andrew Tate now sits in a Miami jail cell fighting extradition to Britain, and the White House has made clear it will not lift a finger to stop it. The self-styled manosphere influencer and his brother Tristan were arrested by US Marshals on Saturday, 18 July 2026, on a UK provisional arrest warrant covering 59 combined charges, including rape, human trafficking and offences involving indecent images of a child.
Their political ties run deep, with reported links to two of the president's sons, yet Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have both said they will not intervene. The case now moves through the federal courts in Florida even as questions swirl in Washington about why the administration ever let the brothers travel freely in the first place.
