Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has returned to Honduras after receiving a pardon from U.S. President Donald Trump, bringing a dramatic turn to one of the region’s most closely watched legal cases.

The latest development is expected to reignite debate over accountability, international justice, and the use of presidential pardon powers.
