Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This House resolution condemns President Trump's pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 for leading a major cocaine trafficking conspiracy that sent hundreds of thousands of kilograms of drugs into the United States. The resolution criticizes the pardon as undermining U.S. credibility on anti-corruption and counter-narcotics efforts, contradicting the administration's stated concerns about drug trafficking threats in the Western Hemisphere, and signaling that political influence can override the rule of law. The resolution reaffirms Congress's commitment to partnering with Honduras on security and drug trafficking issues, urges the State Department to strengthen anti-corruption and counter-narcotics efforts through sanctions and law enforcement cooperation, and expresses solidarity with victims of drug trafficking and violence in both countries. The measure also calls for a fair vote count in Honduras's November 2025 election and expresses concern about unauthorized military strikes by the administration.
