Q: Is it legal to transfer someone across state lines in reference to a civil case without any extradition hearing?
I have filed a Habeas petition in the 4th circuit on this issue. See Hommel v. Unknown, et al. I was civilly commited in virginia in 2007, but never was commited, as the order was stayed. Instead i was transfered to Federal custody in the northern district of ohio where i served approx. 10.9 years. In 2017 i was released to a halfway house in akron ohio where i stayed for at 5 months until i was detained in relation to the 2007 civil commitment in virginia. At that point i was transported back to bop custody for about 4 months until my gtrd of 11/08/2017. Instead of being released to the local jail as per policy i was placed on the airlift. (there is no record of this transfer that i can find.) And was subsequently handed over to VCBR at the Richmond USMS office on my GTRD. Without any hearing in relation to any of this.The BOP does not consider me sexually dangerous. I was discharged from VCBR on 4/29/2020.
