Refugees had been arriving in the United States at levels unseen in nearly three decades, assisted by nonprofits and ordinary people across the political spectrum. That screeched to a halt after President Donald Trump's inauguration and his administration’s immediate 90-day suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

President Trump's elimination of stopgap migrant programs like TPS and humanitarian parole makes it easier to carry out his sweeping deportation crusade — but it also raises the question: When will the U.S. ever reform its broken immigration system?

Under the Biden administration, migrants from embattled countries could apply for entry for humanitarian reasons, without having to attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally.

Immigrant advocates in South Florida call on President Biden to extend protected status to more than 300,000 Nicaraguans before Trump takes office.

Hundreds of Nicaraguan religious leaders, students, activists, dissidents and journalists are ‘stateless.’ President Daniel Ortega's government stripped them of their citizenship, homes and government pensions.

Hundreds of Nicaraguan religious leaders, students, activists, dissidents and journalists are 'stateless.' President Daniel Ortega's government stripped them of their citizenship, homes and government pensions. They are scattered across the United States and other countries, in limbo as they struggle to recover from physical and psychological trauma.

Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega is proposing a constitutional reform that would officially make him and his wife, current Vice President Rosario Murillo, “copresidents” of the Central American nation.

The Biden administration imposed visa restrictions on more than 350 members of the Nicaraguan National Police to promote accountability for their actions against civil society, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller announced Thursday.

A degrading social media meme falsely depicts Nicaraguan migrants who've come to the U.S. legally on a humanitarian parole as agents of Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega — the same brutal dictator they fled.

The program began in 2022 with Venezuelans as an effort to provide an alternative legal pathway for migrants who were increasingly coming to the U.S.-Mexico border. It later expanded to Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans.The program allowed them to live and work in the U.S. for two years while they sought other legal status.

As President Daniel Ortega continues to consolidate power by crushing opposition, Nicaragua has deteriorated into an oppressive state ruled with an iron fist.

The United States government says it has secured the release of 135 Nicaraguan political prisoners who have arrived in Guatemala.
