Does Uncle Sam Penny Pinch on Extraditions?

Does the big bad U.S. federal government with supposedly "unlimited" resources ever take costs into consideration in deciding whether to seek an INTERPOL Red Notice?

Here's 👇 the U.S. department of Justice in an archived Criminal Justice Manual cautioning prosecutors on the cost of red notice, extradition request, translations, hiring local counsel abroad, etc...

"...make certain that the case is significant enough to warrant placing their offices under such a burden in deciding whether or not to request issuance of a Red Notice."

......

Many people wrongfully assume that government is one big monolith.

No, it is split up among branches, agencies, subagencies, offices within the agencies, budgets, staffing limits, and human beings making human decisions within those offices.

One has to consider this when thinking about the practical application of law.
