People of the State of Illinois USVol 119 USPage 436 Citation 7 S.Ct. 225 30 L.Ed. 421 Prior Writ of Error to the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois Subsequent Holding There is no language in the 1870 Treaty of Extradition between the U.S. and Peru, which says in terms that a party fleeing from the U.S. to escape punishment for crime becomes thereby entitled to an asylum in the country to which Ker has fled. SCOTUS 1882 1887 Majority Miller JoinMajority unanimous court LawsApplied Ker v. Illinois , Case citation 119 U.S. 436 1886 , is a U.S. Supreme Court case. It held that a fugitive kidnapped from abroad could not claim any violation of the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States. The incident that led to this decision involved with a Pinkerton Detective Agency agent, Henry Julian, was hired by the federal government to collect a larcenist, Frederick Ker, who had fled to Peru . Although Julian had the necessary extradition papers&mdash the two governments had negotiated an extradition treaty a decade earlier&mdash he found that there was no official to meet his request due to the recent Chilean military occupation of Lima. Rather than return home empty handed, Julian kidnapped the fugitive, with assistance from Chilean forces, and placed him on a U.S. vessel heading back to the United States.
