Dotcom is a New Zealand citizen facing charges within the borders of New Zealand. New Zealand just can't grab on of its citizens and toss them out.

This is incorrect. The US is attempting to extradite Dotcom from New Zealand for violating US law outside of US jurisdiction.

I don't like the guy, but let's not lie about it.

Dotcom is not a New Zealand citizen. He is a German citizen and a New Zealand resident. He was specifically barred from a path to citizenship and owning property because he failed the good character requirement.
