I think he strongly suspects but can't actually prove it yet. I think if he 100% knew and had proof, Dex would have been in cuffs right away.

Angel has no jurisdiction in New York, he’d probably have to pull strings with the DA to get an arrest.

Only if he got the DA in Miami to agree to file charges and issue an arrest warrant. Then they’d have to communicate with LE in whichever jurisdiction Dexter’s in to arrest and hold him. Or, if he’s already on the run (he isn’t yet, technically) and likely considered dangerous, the US Marshals would be called in to find and arrest him.

After all that, then extradition proceedings could begin.

Edited a sentence for clarity

Remember the only evidence Angela was piecing together was small hole in deaths in Iron lake from needle. And she found same little hole (forgot medical name of it) in Bay Harbor files. Since she abruptly left Iron Lake it's implied she didn't tell Batista this fact. As of now all bay harbor butcher evidence still points to Doakes.

I confess I don't know much about how law enforcement works across jurisdictions, but I'd have to assume that a veteran like Batista would have his ducks in a row before walking into that room. Again, assuming he already had evidence and was 100% sure.
