Dozens of Honduran police officers and armed patrols were seen approaching former President Juan Orlando Hernandez's residence in Tegucigalpa, Tuesday, after a judge ordered his arrest following a request by the United States to extradite him.

The former president faces charges of drug trafficking and money laundering, leading the New York legal system to seek his extradition following earlier proceedings against his brother, currently serving a life sentence in the US.
