The New York district attorney wants to extradite Almansoori for the murder of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia at a SoHo hotel. The prosecutorial battle has turned political, with Mitchell claiming it's safer to keep him in Arizona, while New York officials express frustration over the refusal to seek justice for the victim.
