I’ve [asked something very similar before](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inter-state-extradition-in-the-us/835127/18) and the answer didn’t seem to be clear.

If a person (or ex-president) is indicted for a non-Federal felony in one state, can they take refuge in another state? Can the ‘harboring’ state be compelled to extradite him? If so, is there an enforcement mechanism?
