Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego slammed President Donald Trump for announcing he would pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking last year in the U.S.
"So we are illegally killing drug runners in the Caribbean on boats that will never make it to the US and pardoning cartel kingpins that a US jury has convicted for drug running? Anyone else see how this doesn't make sense?" Gallego said in a social media publication, a reference to accusations against the administration of conducting extra-judicial killings with its strikes of alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.
