New Mexico procedure for extradition, as I understand it, is a formal written appeal directly to the governor. Once that is done, the defendant may still refuse to waive extradition, which will require a formal hearing. I don't think anything is an obstacle, but it takes time to walk through the process. Prior to any of this happening, the Colorado authorities need to be fully prepared and in place to bring back a high priority accused. I presume he will be housed in the Alamosa County Jail, which serves as a regional facility for maximum security detention and is convenient to the 12th District Court. Once he is returned, believe he must have a First Advisement Hearing within ten court days, which during the holidays can seem a lot longer. With the Thanksgiving holiday, and restrictions due to Gallup being in a very high COVID19 risk area, I would imagine the wheels of justice will move slowly at first.
It is a simple fact of life that there is very little main stream media news coverage left in western North America. Live reporting is simply no linger sustainable in small town / rural areas. Reporters aren't walking away.......they simply aren't there.
IANAL, IMO
