Could a bounty hunter bring back an American citizen living in a foreign country who's got a U.S. arrest warrant on him? I suppose this is kidnapping. How would the bounty hunter get him on the plane and through customs?

Some countries allow it, some don't. For instance, Dog Chapman went to Mexico to get someone, but he got in trouble for it. However, other countries would not have a problem with someone coming to pick up a US criminal.

It's supposed to only be done within the country. Although, it depends on the relationship between the 2 countries. Didn't you hear of the scandal about dog the bounty hunter recovering a fugitive from Mexico? He almost went to prison for it.

If a criminal doesn't make his appearance in court, then Yes, I suppose the bounty hunter can track them down anywhere in the world. No, it's not kidnapping. A bounting hunter has every right to get the bad guy and bring them to justice.

apparently so. go get 'em, toots.
nah, jk. well if you must know, bounty hunters that go international at this point only exist in fantasy. Unless, of course, you're a bit more serious beyond a bounty hunter. Look up bounty hunter, then look up spy, then make your conclusions based on better evidence and you might be closer to -
the answer to your question.

He could bring back an American citizen living in a foreign country, but it might be against the other country's policies and they could face some serious charges.

Some have, and at least one was extradited to Canada for kidnapping as a result.

Nope, they would need help from the local police.

I don't think that they can apprehend anyone outside of the states.
