Queen’s is in Northern Ireland - the UK, not the Republic.
I give this link for this article:
“Is Hillary Clinton Trying to Create Safe Extradition Harbor in Northern Ireland?”
It gives the language of Article 4 of the UK’s extradition treaty with the U.S.:
“Article 4(3) requires that, notwithstanding the terms of paragraph 2, extradition shall not be granted if the competent authority of the Requested State determines that the request is politically motivated. In the United States, the executive branch is the competent authority for the purposes of the Article. Under the 1985 supplementary treaty, the judicial branch has the authority to consider whether an extradition request is motivated by a desire to punish the person sought on account of race, religion, nationality, or political opinions, or if the person sought would be subject to unfair treatment in UK courts or prisons after extradition. Like all other modern extradition treaties, the new Treaty grants the executive branch rather than the judiciary the authority to determine whether a request is politically motivated.”

Note: the article has some funny nicknames for der Hildebeast.
