Hank Johnson Introduces Historic Bill to Stop U.S. Aid to Honduras | 2016-09-09 | 2016 | 2016-09 | Democrat | House | GA | Hank Johnson | J000288 | hankjohnson.house.gov | legacy | In an unprecedented move, a group of congressmembers are calling on the United States to suspend all military aid to Honduras until the country addresses its gross human rights violations. On Tuesday afternoon, Democratic Congressmember Hank Johnson of Georgia introduced the bill in Congress demanding the U.S. halt all funds to Honduras for their police and military operations, including funds for equipment and training. The United States currently provides hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Honduras through the Northern Triangle’s Alliance for Prosperity Plan. The legislation is named after indigenous and environmental leader Berta Cáceres, who was murdered in Honduras in March. We speak with Georgia Representative Hank Johnson about his landmark bill. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
