Honduran Expats Sound Off on Coup D'etat

This past weekend a few hundred men, women and children gathered for an afternoon of non-stop soccer games, fresh cooked plates of grilled steak, rice and beans, and lounging by the banks of Westchester Creek on the rim of Ferry Point Park in the Bronx. Over the last few years this out of the way park has become a gathering place for some of the estimated 40,000 Honduran immigrants in New York City--and more recently it has become the setting for heated discussion about the constitutionality of the recent coup d'etat in Honduras that removed President Manuel Zelaya from office, and replaced him with Roberto Micheletti, a thrice failed presidential candidate.
