TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART II--CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 203--ARREST AND COMMITMENT
Sec. 3042. Extraterritorial jurisdiction
Section 3041 of this title shall apply in any country where the
United States exercises extraterritorial jurisdiction for the arrest and
removal therefrom to the United States of any citizen or national of the
United States who is a fugitive from justice charged with or convicted
of the commission of any offense against the United States, and shall
also apply throughout the United States for the arrest and removal
therefrom to the jurisdiction of any officer or representative of the
United States vested with judicial authority in any country in which the
United States exercises extraterritorial jurisdiction, of any citizen or
national of the United States who is a fugitive from justice charged
with or convicted of the commission of any offense against the United
States in any country where it exercises extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Such fugitive first mentioned may, by any officer or representative
of the United States vested with judicial authority in any country in
which the United States exercises extraterritorial jurisdiction and
agreeably to the usual mode of process against offenders subject to such
jurisdiction, be arrested and detained or conditionally released
pursuant to section 3142 of this title, as the case may be, pending the
issuance of a warrant for his removal, which warrant the principal
officer or representative of the United States vested with judicial
authority in the country where the fugitive shall be found shall
seasonably issue, and the United States marshal or corresponding officer
shall execute.
Such marshal or other officer, or the deputies of such marshal or
officer, when engaged in executing such warrant without the jurisdiction
of the court to which they are attached, shall have all the powers of a
marshal of the United States so far as such powers are requisite for the
prisoner's safekeeping and the execution of the warrant.

Panama Canal Zone or any other territory governed, occupied, or
controlled by it'' were omitted as covered by section 5 of this title
defining the term ``United States''.
