What I keep thinking about is covered in this article - I don't have access to the full article:
"The facts in the cases of Nicolás Maduro and Juan Orlando Hernández are strikingly similar. The men’s fates are not.
"A man in a blue puffer jacket is escorted by dozens of security officers.
"When President Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras was extradited in 2022, his nation’s capital celebrated. President Trump pardoned him last month anyway.
"Two Latin American strongmen were charged in Manhattan with corrupting their governments, using state power to import hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States.
"One, the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, was abruptly pardoned by President Trump last month.
"The other, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela, was captured on Saturday in a military raid that Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized as a law enforcement operation. Mr. Maduro was brought to the United States to face fresh allegations of narco-terrorism."
