I'm not sure, but I think the most that we can do(US Govt) is to request/demand to that Foreign Govt. Consulate recall that person
back to his/her homeland.

The State Department can also request the foreign government to voluntarily give up diplomatic immunity for that person, and they can expell the diplomat as well, not just ask.

Thanks for the clarification; I thought there might have been more we
could do along these lines, I just wasn't sure.
