Honduras Former President Juan Orlando Hernández, has been Released From a US prison

Honduras former president Juan Orlando Hernández, has been released from a US prison, after he received a pardon from US President Donald Trump for drug charges. Hernández's wife, Ana García de Hernández, in a post shared on social media on Tuesday, thanked Trump for the pardon, saying her husband was now a free man. The records show Hernández was released from the high security facility of USP Hazelton in West Virginia on Monday. Hernández was found guilty in March 2024 of conspiring to import cocaine to the US, and of possessing machine guns. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison. The US president said Hernández had been "treated very harshly and unfairly" in a social media post announcing the move on Friday.
