Technically the US doesn't extradite people to the US, other states extradite people to the US upon their request in accordance to an extradition treaty. The UK courts are still yet to decide whether there is a legal basis to extradite Assange. For example, the extradition of Lauri Love was denied by the court, which was also for computer related crimes allegedly carried out outside of US territory.
