Exactly. The State already had my passport as I had to give that up to even get a bond hearing. (Although the British government said they would issue me an emergency passport if I wanted to flee)

I'm amazed they offered you an emergency passport, although I'm guessing this was during your lengthy pre trial detainment.

I would have expected it to go the other way. Like an offer to be transferred to/from the UK in custody so you can be visited by your mother, because the US government trusts the UK government to return you.
