The U.S. government has confirmed that no concessions were made to Nicaragua for the release of political prisoners. Following their release last week, Nicaragua's government stripped 135 expelled prisoners of their nationality and seized their property. The prisoners, who were deported to Guatemala, have faced further punitive measures ordered by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo. These actions have drawn criticism for their inhumane and cruel nature, further isolating Nicaragua on the international stage.
