Amid Mass ICE Arrests, Trump Pardon Recipient Juan Orlando Hernández Given Special Treatment
AI Summary
Despite President Trump's tough stance on drug trafficking and recent actions against alleged narcoterrorists, his administration showed leniency towards former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández. Hernández was convicted in the U.S. in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years for drug-related crimes. Trump pardoned him after he served less than four years. Although an immigration detainer was in place for Hernández, the Bureau of Prisons worked to have it removed. Instead of deportation proceedings faced by other non-citizens, Hernández received special treatment. He was transported from prison to a luxury hotel in New York City, and allowed to speak to a former Trump pardon recipient.
