Alleged Honduran drug trafficker Mario José Calix, alias "El Cubeta," is escorted by members of the National Directorate of Special Forces (Cobras) during his extradition to the US at the Palmerola base in Comayagua, 50 km north of Tegucigalpa, on September 4, 2024. An associate of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of drug trafficking in New York, was handed over to the United States a week after leftist Honduran President Xiomara Castro cancelled the extradition treaty.
