It began Wednesday when Rachel Mitchell, the Republican county attorney for Maricopa County, Ariz., said at a news conference that she would not send the man, Raad Almansoori, back to New York to face murder charges. The reason, she said, was that Alvin L. Bragg, Manhattan’s Democratic district attorney, could not be trusted to keep Mr. Almansoori behind bars. Mr. Bragg, she said, is too lenient on “violent criminals.”The case was swiftly swept up into national politics, where both prosecutors have played major roles, prompting a volley of bitter cross-country exchanges. In a radio interview Thursday, Ms. Mitchell criticized Mr. Bragg’s handling of a case involving seven migrants arrested in New York City and charged with assaulting two police officers in Times Square last month. All seven are now in jail.

Arizona is refusing to extradite a suspect wanted in a murder case in New York City. But the murder rate in Phoenix is actually higher than in New York, according to police data. "Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg," Mitchell said. In his response to Mitchell, Bragg's office, however, noted that the murder rate is actually higher in Phoenix than in New York. AdvertisementStill, whether Mitchell's concerns about extraditing the suspect to New York are justified, they will likely strike a chord with Bragg's critics.

On Feb. 8, a woman was found dead in a Manhattan hotel room, bludgeoned to death with an iron. In the normal course of events, the suspect would be sent back to New York to face charges — a routine extradition. But on Wednesday, an Arizona prosecutor refused, saying she did not believe Alvin L. Bragg, Manhattan’s district attorney, could be trusted to keep him behind bars. “Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan D.A. there, Alvin Bragg,” Ms. Mitchell told reporters.
