Yes. The U.S. has executed foreign nationals in a number of different states, in some cases breaking international conventions requiring the person accused to have access to consular help from their country of origin. An illegal immigrant would simply be another case of a foreign national.

distant places nationals are problem to the regulations of the the land wherein they're arrested. no one gets particular privileges, and their international places can not intrude. I stay in Taiwan. The visa utility incorporates a warning approximately drug offences (loss of life penalty for trafficking), the airline makes an fact as you return in for a touchdown, and there's an excellent sign approximately drugs interior the arrivals area of the airport. inspite of the certainty that, the prisons are finished of Canadians and individuals who think of that (in simple terms by using fact they're Canadians or individuals) the regulations of the Republic of China do no longer prepare to them. the comparable concern is going on in Singapore and Malaysia and Indonesia and someplace else. Mexico can not and could no longer intrude for this guy. they'll video reveal the placement, to verify that American justice is utilized. and that's going to be. strategies you, exhibiting the jurors an excellent reveal photograph of the smiling sufferer would not sound very user-friendly to me. There might desire to be an high priced attraction by using fact the decide erred and allowed it. i've got confidence which you're applying the tragic loss of life of a courageous guy to fire up hatred against Mexican immigrants. it would desire to artwork on some human beings, in spite of the undeniable fact that it did no longer artwork on me.
