no they're not. they are not sovereign and they are owned by the host nation, in other words they have about the same rights as an applebees!

We didn’t let that mob inside. They broke in and overran the place.

Embassies are not sovereign territory either. They, just like consulates, are inviolable however.

Orange needs to assert dominance, and claim the equator as a national security imperative.

Are they allowed to harbor illegals and break US laws? If ICE paid them a visit...it's probably not legal.

When i was in Ecuador 2 months ago the US was trying to get them to approve putting a military base in the Galapagos Islands. Luckily the people voted against it. The only part that sucked was Quito bars shut down for the weekend when they were holding the election.

The extraterritoriality of Princess Margriet's birth was a Canadian legislative manoeuvre which created a temporary extraterritorial space into which Princess Margriet of the Netherlands was born in 1943. Devised by John Erskine Read and enacted through a statutory instrument under the War Measures Act, this ensured that Margriet was not born on foreign soil, which would have made her ineligible for the royal succession under the Constitution of the Netherlands.

Consulates and embassies are not considered foreign soil or sovereign territory of the home country. They are located on the territory of the host country and subject to its laws, but they operate under special protections—specifically "inviolability" under the Vienna Convention—

Host country authorities cannot enter or search the premises without authorization from the head of the mission, granting them high immunity.

It is limited.

Consulates have limited privileges compared to embassies governed by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963). While they still have certain protections such as the inviolability of consular premises, their immunity from legal jurisdiction is more restricted and only applies to official duties.

Also from my post.

Legal immunity is for the consulates own actions, not the illegals with valid deportation orders that probably already involve criminal activities.

There isn’t a diplomatic mission on earth that’s going to allow local/host nation law enforcement to enter.

Fake outrage.


Ecuador better be offering them asylum if they are going to harbor illegals. And if any of said illegals are Ecuadorian, they should get a Caracas 2.0

Either way, their consulate should be sent home. We dont have to host them here

Yeah... that's like touching "base".

Would you care for it if an American were being chased in Ecuador, made it to "base" and was dragged out?

...........

I looked further into this and diplomats do have immunity to a point but if this consulate in minnesota is harboring say...a murderer that is or is not a diplomat, there are options.

AI Overview
A murderer generally cannot be permanently shielded from U.S. authorities in a U.S. consulate or embassy. While these locations are protected by the Vienna Convention from unauthorized entry, they are not sanctuaries for criminals. U.S. authorities can, and often do, arrest suspects once they leave or via diplomatic negotiation with the foreign nation.

Key Aspects of Consulate Protection:

Immunity Limits: While diplomats have immunity from arrest, this does not typically cover grave crimes like murder, especially if the person is not a senior diplomatic agent.

Jurisdiction: A crime committed inside a consulate is still subject to the laws of the host country, and the host country may request the suspect be handed over.

Diplomatic Pressure: While a foreign country could technically refuse to enter a U.S. consulate, it would cause a severe diplomatic incident, likely resulting in the suspect being expelled or extradited.

If a murderer is a foreign diplomat with high-level immunity, they cannot be arrested, but the U.S. can declare them persona non grata and force their removal from the country.
