> Arresting a foreign national for activities not on our soil which are not illegal in their home country

Russia has government-sanctioned hacking groups who operate outside of the US. If a member of one of those groups, known to law enforcement, traveled to the USA or Canada do you feel it would be unjust to arrest them?

This is a flimsy argument for why the Huawei CFO being detained was unjust, IMO.

But british hacking groups would never ever be arrested for doing the same thing.

Politics exists and it drives these decisions, there's nothing more hideous than someone who exercises power to destroy lives and pretends its merely procedure.

Sure they would. What makes you think otherwise?

Is that a serious question?

Russian state-sponsored hackers oppose American interests. British, the opposite.

You're just making stuff up now.

Also, your response has nothing to do with your original claim that it's unfair to arrest a non-American citizen for actions committed outside of US soil for something that is not illegal in their home country.
