James Chambers faces Spain extradition on money laundering charges
James Chambers, a US activist, might be extradited from Spain to the United States over money laundering charges tied to his support for Palestinian causes.
His lawyers say the Trump administration changed key words in the official documents, like adding "violent" and "detonate," which weren't in the originals.
They've called out these moves as "bad faith," and asked Spain's court for a new translation.
Chambers seeks asylum in Spain
Chambers's extradition hearing is set for November 13, 2026, but he's also applied for political asylum in Spain, which could slow things down.
The case is getting extra attention since it's the first known instance of the US seeking to extradite a citizen over alleged support for Hamas.
Plus, there are questions about whether the FBI broke Spanish law by seizing his phone, all just weeks before Spain's national elections.
