Chavez: “[The release of Juan Orlando Hernández] sends a signal to other actors that they can act with impunity and facilitate the flow of drugs into the United States without being held accountable.”

On December 2, president and CEO of the Inter-American Dialogue, Rebecca Bill Chavez, spoke with Morning Joe to discuss the pardon of Honduran ex-president, Jose Orlando Hernández.

COMMENTS FROM CHAVEZ: 

“It was a case that was carefully documented. The amount of work that went into the prosecution was quite impressive. I’m sure the team behind the prosecution is devastated now.”

“Americans are less safe now that Juan Orlando Hernández is free. It sends a signal to other actors that they can act with impunity and still facilitate the flow of drugs into the United States without being held accountable.”

Q

¿Qué tan válido ves tú — o legítimo — el temor que reporta la Casa Blanca de que aumente la migración haitiana?
