Hello. Yes, you could be returned to the State of Illinois. The legal term for this is "extradition" which is defined as the surrender by one state to another of an individual accused or convicted of an offense outside of its own territory and within the territorial jurisdiction of the other, which being competent to try and punish him, demands the surrender.
