CEPR: CEPR Urges Patience and Restraint as Honduras Awaits Official Election Results; Rejects US Interference

CEPR (12/2/25 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: A militarized US Drug Enforcement Administration force declared ([link removed]) they’d taken out drug traffickers in the Caribbean, killing some of them in what was sold as a successful operation. Locals on the ground reported differently, saying these people weren’t drug traffickers, just human beings who happened to be on the river and got shot up by US forces who were not attacked, as they claimed, but just killed innocent people because they were given orders to kill them.

It should sound familiar—but this isn’t today in Venezuela; it’s 2012 in Honduras. An inspector general review from the State Department and the Justice Department found that, no, this was not a Honduran operation, or a “joint operation” the DEA were helping with; it was a DEA operation, and it killed four innocent people and injured others in a remote, Afro-Indigenous part of Honduras. The story that the DEA pushed on Congress and the press corps was just a lie ([link removed]) .

But you'd hardly know that history reading current coverage of Honduras, where, as we record on December 4, the presidential election is still in question. Not in question: the US’s long history of intervening—violently, dramatically, unaccountably—in Honduras.

We’ll talk about it with Alex Main, director of international policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Research ([link removed]) .
