Ex-Honduran President Extradited to the U.S.

“Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was loaded onto a Drug Enforcement Administration plane Thursday and extradited to the United States, where the onetime U.S. ally faces federal drug and weapons charges on allegations he accepted millions of dollars to protect massive shipments of cocaine,” the Washington Post reports.

“The precipitous fall of Hernández, who was president from 2014 until January, has stunned citizens in this Central American country of 10 million.”
