Andrew Tate’s lawyer alleges medical care has been denied in Miami detention centre
Andrew Tate’s lawyer, Joe McBride, says Tate is seriously ill in a Miami federal detention centre and has repeatedly requested medical care without receiving it. McBride threatened legal action against prison officials if treatment is not provided, but the illness and the allegation that care was withheld have not been independently verified.
Tate, 39, and his brother Tristan, 38, have been held in the facility since 18 July while contesting extradition to Britain. British prosecutors seek their return to face nearly 60 criminal charges between them, relating to alleged offences from 2010 to 2017; both deny the allegations. The detention centre has faced reports of overcrowding and poor conditions, though the brothers’ specific circumstances have not been independently established.
In short
- Tate’s lawyer says he is very ill and needs medical care.
- The alleged lack of treatment has not been independently verified.
- The brothers are detained in Miami while contesting extradition to Britain.

The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
If McBride’s account is accurate, a detainee who is seriously ill and repeatedly asks for treatment should receive timely medical attention; custody gives authorities responsibility for people’s basic welfare, whatever charges they face. Reports of overcrowding and poor conditions make scrutiny of how requests are handled reasonable, and legal action could help ensure proper care and accountability.
The case against
The allegation has not been independently verified, and the detention centre or officials may dispute that care was denied or have a different account of the requests and treatment provided. It would be unfair to treat the lawyer’s claim as established fact before those details are checked; any legal response should follow evidence about Tate’s condition and the facility’s actions.
