A resolution condemning the pardon of ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
This Senate resolution (SRES 530) condemns former President Trump's 2025 pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, Honduras' former president convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy. It commends U.S. prosecutors and jurors who secured Hernández's 45-year prison sentence for his role in a major cocaine trafficking operation involving over 400 tons of drugs and bribes, including $1 million from a drug lord. The resolution states the pardon undermines U.S. anti-drug trafficking efforts and the rule of law, though it has no legal effect. As a symbolic statement, it does not change laws or policies.
