Juan Orlando Hernandez

Juan Orlando Hernandez is the former president of Honduras. He is newsworthy due to his recent release from a US prison after receiving a "full and complete" pardon from former US President Donald Trump. Hernandez had been serving a 45-year sentence in the United States for drug conspiracy. However, despite this pardon, Hernandez now faces further legal trouble. Honduras's top prosecutor has issued an international arrest warrant for him, intensifying the legal and political turmoil surrounding the ex-leader. This warrant was issued shortly after Hernandez's release from US custody. The situation raises questions about US credibility and drug policy, especially given Trump's claims of cracking down on drug gangs while simultaneously pardoning Hernandez, who was convicted on drug-related charges.
