waive right to extradition?

In a brief court appearance on Thursday, he waived his right to
extradition and was placed on an aeroplane that will take him
back to South Carolina.

I'll be grateful if someone will explain why Roof has a right to
extradition.

This more than likely should have read "... he waived his right to
contest extradition."

Thank you. That makes a lot more sense!
