I must admit that's true. Case in point:
> Although Indonesia has no formal extradition treaty with the United States, the Indonesian National Police-Bali worked with the FBI to take Pearlman into custody, and the country expelled him as "an undesirable visitor," the FBI said.[0]
So he would have to secure his permanent residency in advance, and hope that no US administration would waste any carrots or sticks on capturing someone who would be viewed by many as a political prisoner.
