WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.
Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.
He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.
