That's talking about the defense seeking a venue change, which is difficult but not impossible. I don't believe the prosecution is even allowed to ask for a venue change, which was the assertion I was responding to.

I was wondering about that. I couldn’t find any cases for prosecution venue change.

The Sixth Amendment gives the defendant a constitutional right to trial in the state and district where the crime was allegedly committed. The defendant can waive that right and move for a change of venue; the prosecution can't deprive the defendant of that right.
