How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that defendant’s forcible abduction from Mexico, authorized by DEA officials, did not prohibit trial in United States for violations of United States criminal laws
• holding that, despite defendant’s forcible abduction from Mexico by United States agents, “the court need not inquire as to how respondent came before it”
• holding that a defendant had no rights under international law or an extradition treaty
• holding that defendant who was \forcibly kidnaped\ from Mexico at the direction of DEA agents did not \thereby acquire[] a defense to the jurisdiction of this country's courts\
• holding that an arrest conducted without probable cause violates the fourth amendment but does not imply the invalidity of a conviction, because courts do not suppress the body of the accused
• recognizing that \the power of a court to try a person for crime is not impaired by the fact that he had been brought within the court's jurisdiction by reason of a forcible abduction\ amounting to a kidnapping
