The opposition lawyer in exile Yader Morazán is leading an active campaign on social networks to expose Nicaraguans who collaborated in Ortega’s repression during and after the 2018 social protests and who are now in the US seeking immigration benefits, posing as as opponents.
“Let’s make a thread about supporters of the regime who spread the ‘aggression’ discourse directed and financed by the USA and today they are where their Yankee ‘aggressor’ is,” the exiled jurist posted on his personal Twitter.
consulted by Article 66Morazán explained that there are two types of Nicaraguan migrants, the first is made up of those who entered across the borders illegally and were welcomed in US territory assuming that they are “people at risk, product of Ortega repression in Nicaragua.”
The other group is the one that is entering legally, through the benefit of humanitarian parole. “Many of these people even participated as paramilitaries, they are the children of high officials and now they are using these benefits that were designed with the politically persecuted in mind, to request asylum in this country. They are inventing cases of political asylum, “denounces the lawyer.
