Previously the reporting on this did not have a political angle and so it was removed from Politics and correctly directed to News.
The charges related to terrorism now give this a political angle.
“Luigi Mangione is accused of first-degree murder, in furtherance of terrorism; second-degree murder, one count of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; criminal possession of a weapon and other crimes.”
The terrorism statutes can be found here:

“The act must be committed with the intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.”
Again, that’s not what is being reported. What is being reported is that he’ll wave extradition and be in NY very soon. I find this story mildly interesting, but not to the point where I want to be bombarded by every jackass tat wants to provide a take for the clicks.
Currently, he’s fighting extradition:

““He is contesting it,” said his lawyer, Thomas Dickey.”
Will he waive it? Probably. I don’t see how contesting it will be successful.
I have a bit of an advantage in this regard due to the fact I watch NYC TV. There is no question he’ll be retuning to NYC as NY has now submitted the paperwork. Fighting extradition does nothing for him.
