Listen "Police Crimes Reign Under Honduran State of Exception"
Episode Synopsis
CENTRAL AMERICA IN MINUTES, Ep. 5: Two years into the Honduran state of exception, reports abound of illegal raids, torture, forced disappearance, and extrajudicial killings. Extortion, the purported reason for the measures, remains unscathed.
In Nicaragua, the Ortega-Murillo regime slates constitutional changes to officialize the position of “co-president”, removing any room for doubt that Rosario Murillo plans to hold onto the presidency should Daniel Ortega pass away.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the primary enforcer of Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, is acquiring new surveillance tools like those deployed against civil society, politicians, and journalists in El Salvador and Panama.
