Zelaya was thrown out of office last week in what some are describing as a coup. He attempted to return to Honduras on Sunday, the AP reports, but was blocked from landing by military personnel.
The day following the coup, President Obama said that he believed the coup was "not legal" and that the United States still considered Zelaya Honduras' "democratically elected president," the New York Times reported.
According to Reuters, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said that the United States seeks to restore "democratic order" in Honduras. Kelly added that "democratic order" means "the return of the democratically elected president to Tegucigalpa, the return of Mel Zelaya."
