President Donald Trump has pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was serving a 45-year U.S. prison sentence for a drug-trafficking conspiracy. The decision, confirmed by a White House official and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, led to Hernández's release from a federal facility in West Virginia on Monday and has drawn criticism amid ongoing U.S. efforts against narcotics trafficking in Latin America.
Authorities in Honduras arrested a suspected gang leader they say masterminded the killings of 19 farm workers last month. The suspect, known as 'The Black Cat,' was detained on Tuesday in connection with the attack in the Bajo Aguan region.
