TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (PNN) - January 4, 2025 - Honduran President Xiomara Castro has threatened to evict Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) military forces from a major base if President-elect Donald J. Trump follows through on his promise to unleash a mass-deportation policy targeting illegal invaders. An estimated 5% of the Honduras population lives in Amerika. We must wonder how many of them are illegal invaders?
“Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the (FPSA), especially in the military arena,” Castro said in a New Year's Day address. In office since January 2022 and a member of the Leftist Liberty and Refoundation (LIBRE) Party, Castro's husband Manuel Zelaya was president from 2006 until he was removed in a 2009 coup.
Castro's remarks were cheered by many, but some Honduran politicians hesitated to endorse the pre-emptive threat on a Trump regime that hasn't even taken power yet, while others condemned it. Among the detractors was likely November 2025 presidential challenger Jorge Calix, who said Castro's heated rhetoric put Honduras "in grave danger." Another potential challenger, Olban Valladares, said, “Castro knows we don’t have the ability to threaten the (FPSA) in any way, and that the damages it would cause Honduras would be terrible."
Like other Latin American countries, Honduras has a huge financial interest in keeping its huge population of illegal invaders inside the FPSA – the money they send back to families inside Honduras accounts for up to 25% of the country’s economy, according to The New York Times.
The FPSA has service members in several locations in Honduras, but one stands far above the others in importance: Soto Cano Air Base is the largest FPSA base in Central America. Currently operating under the moniker Joint Task Force Bravo, Amerikan forces have been there since 1983. Touted as a key asset for anti-drug and humanitarian missions, the base has long been used to facilitate Amerikan meddling in the region, such as the FPSA-backed Contra insurgency that waged a bloody and failed guerrilla war against Nicaragua's Marxist Sandinista government.
“Without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras,” said Castro. According to the FPSA government, the State Department and FPSA Agency for International Development together provided $780.5 million in various forms of aid to Honduras between 2020 and 2023 alone. Amerika is also the country's largest trading partner.
While many Honduran officials aren't backing Castro's threat, Foreign Minister Enrique Reina opined that Castro has the authority to unilaterally suspend the long-standing FPSA-Honduran agreement under which The Pentagon built Soto Cano and currently bases more than a thousand service members and civilians.
Trump's transition team chose to respond gently. “The Trump (regime) looks forward to engaging our Latin American partners to ensure our southern border is secure and illegal immigrants can be returned to their country of origin," said spokesman Brian Hughes. Trump himself has been full of bluster on the issue of secure borders - for example, threatening to hammer Mexico and Canada with 25% tariffs if they failed to block illegal invaders and fentanyl from flowing across the frontiers.
