A 49-page document filed in New York's southern district on Friday refers to Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández as a co-conspirator who worked with his brother, Juan Antonio"Tony" Hernández, and former President Porfirio Lobo"to use drug trafficking to help assert power and control in Honduras."
The U.S. government has been a staunch supporter of Hernández's government, pouring millions of dollars into security cooperation to stop cocaine headed to the U.S. from South America. Since then, the president's office said, more than 40 Hondurans have been extradited and others have negotiated plea deals with U.S. officials in exchange for information.
Prosecutors describe Tony Hernández as a"violent, multi-ton drug trafficker" with significant influence over high-ranking Honduran officials, who in turn protected his shipments and turf. They also say that members of the Honduran National Police escorted his cocaine through the country's waters and airspace, while Lobo once deployed military personnel to the nation's border with Guatemala to deter another drug trafficker from encroaching on territory in western Honduras.

You can add Bolivia to that
This is not a president, JOH was imposed by Almagro_OEA2015 , just for all this. This criminal has become millionaire in only 10 years, supported by OEA_oficial and Trump. He has stolen millions of dollars and the militars have him in the power, letting no money for education.
The StateDept knows this but chooses to support these corrupt governments anyway and then wonders why Hondurans are fleeing to the U.S.
Unfortunately he is still in power because nobody can do anything against him and the circle of corrupted friends in the national party. He controls the Supreme Court, the Congress and the Army no one in Honduras dare to challenge him because they can end up death.

AntiBotsHN Protection? The same mayors, and deputies are narcos! There's a plague of corruption in the honduran congress that it's evident that the wealthy people of this country are involved with drug trafficking and narco activities. And so the police and honduran army are involved too.
The ABC, The Washington Post, Univision, The New York Times... Esto es grave Presidencia_HN They are in a crisis and about to go to hell... 🔥
The whole world knows this.
Time to bring some of these criminals to trial here in the USA and they then will join El Chapo. We Americans are getting tired of all the drugs and crime overrunning our country. If only we can get those drug cartels shut down we be better for it.
ByronSabioA asi o mas clarito negrito.?
Are these the same people the Obama administration put in power?
Nothing new here.
It figures and millions of dollars in US aid.
And what about the former Mexican president that took millions from the cartel to keep the border open?
Duh
Oh man, and we want all these criminals to enter the country illegally for healthcare, welfare and of course to vote democrat
Its still the drug war stupid. What kind of criminals would classify medical marijuana and industrial hemp with heroin for 50 years. From Nixon to Trump: Happy 50th Anniversary Suckers. ushemp
And since the Trump administration lies about everything - particularly about brown people, this means nothing.
