US Detains Nicaraguan Exiles Stripped of Citizenship
Original: US authorities detain Nicaraguan political exiles stripped of citizenship, raising fears of deportation
US authorities have detained Nicaraguan political exiles who were stripped of their citizenship by Nicaragua's government, prompting fears among detainees and advocates that they could be deported back to the country they fled. The exiles, many of them opposition figures, face legal limbo because they hold no valid Nicaraguan documents. Rights groups warn deportation would expose them to persecution under Daniel Ortega's government.
Why now: The risk that exiled opposition figures could be returned to Nicaragua has drawn urgent attention from human rights advocates.
