Norma Torres Demands Trump Not Pardon Convicted Honduran Drug Trafficker
Congresswoman Norma Torres has written a letter to President Trump imploring him not to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, recently convicted on drug trafficking charges. Torres argues that pardoning Hernández would undermine efforts against corruption and drug trafficking while betraying American families affected by his crimes. Hernández was accused of transforming the Honduran government into a tool of violence and corruption, thus, a pardon would send a dangerous message. Congresswoman Torres insists that Hernández serve his full sentence to uphold justice and support victims.
