MIAMI — Andrew and Tristan Tate will stay locked up while they fight extradition to the UK on rape and sex trafficking charges, a judge ruled Wednesday.
US Magistrate Lauren Louis said in a written decision that the brothers should remain behind bars in Miami for what could be a months-long court battle.
They had argued that they are not flight risks or threats to the public in trying to win release. But Louis slapped them down.
